Hardware...
I always have recommended AMD for CPU needs (because mostly AMD stuff equals Intel stuff for less the price tag). For Chipsets either AMD/ATI or Nvidia stuff is good to use, graphics between either is a toss up.
For audio.... avoid Creative. believe me I've found and used better. ASUS, Realtek, and C-Media all do far better of a job. The ASUS Xonar series is nice too.
