IDE is crap, IMO.  Get the WD Raptor, if SCSI is not an option.

Creative Labs is the only sound card, IMO.

MSI is a good brand, but do you really need to spend almost $200 on a video card
that is mostly for chess (I am guessing)?

MultiTech's are better modems.  But I like Creative, so I'd go for price.
