Get Philips!

Difference between Corsair and Kingston? Hmm... hard to say, since you are getting the value RAMs, not much difference I guess. But I will of course get the Corsair ValueSelect anytime over the Kingston.

Eh, 120GB harddisk enough or not?

RM4224... Should be able to get RM4200 or lower, maybe below RM4000 if get slower CPU.
I think he should avoid X1800XL because it doesn't seem like he's going to overclock the card. At stock the 7800GT seriously pwns the X1800XL Unless he wants to overclock the card, otherwise forget about getting it.

In fact, they formatted my hard drive when I sent it back to them to have a "new" PSU replaced after it blew within a month.

When it comes to value memory modules, just choose the cheapest one with the best warranty.

Anyways, X1800XL is highly recommended if he's going to overclock totally kicks 7800GT's ass when both are overclocked to the max Simply because the 7800GT is cacat one
