How would "stock" video and sound cards have anything to do with a X2 processor? I've used the 3800+ and 4400+ X2 and both were as nice as they sounded.

If you ask me, the PC's CPU isn't even that important for games and so on, everything above 2,5 GHz should be sufficient.

If anyone lays out the money for a good video card then the CPU is the most important counter part. A 2.5ghz cpu will defiantly limit a high end video card. (Keep in mind CPUs don't really go by that rating system anymore since a AMD 3800+ is only clocked at like 2Ghz, but hopefully you get where I'm coming from when I say a 2.5ghz cpu will limit the video card.)
As for my own PC I still have my good ol' Athlon XP 2600 with a GeForce 4 Ti4200. Certainly not the fastest thing around anymore but aside from games it still gets the job done just fine.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
