As a few of you know already from the processor thread, I'm building a new computer sometime soon. For the sound and video cards I plan on getting an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro for a little over $200 and a SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS for about $100.
Any thoughts? Suggestions?

If you've got the money - I think you've got the right choices.

Wouldn't worry too much about your sound card, get a good sound system instead (if you don't already own one). Unless you plan to turn your PC into a somewhat more professional mixing studio.

an SB Live! will more than do you - no reason to get an audigy

get a decent set of speakers - 4.1 atleast

Get a Turtle Beach or something like that for your soundcard. I have from reliable sources that Creative's drivers are a lot more invasive than they should or need to be.
