Does he plan on playing games on dual HD monitors with (AA & AF set to max)? Otherwise seems a complete waste of money & seems just for bragging rights. Especially with the CPU, whats the point of getting a $1k+ CPU that won't really help much in terms of gaming anyway (unless his planning on using the 975 raw processing power, which isn't gaming anyway).
& I hope his doing some serious OC, otherwise waste $ on ram & CPU (seeing how the 975 should have the unlocked multiplier.

Seems to me, he or his friend just spend $6k on a computer for bragging rights, unless they are gaming on multiple HD monitors & plan to set max AA & AF (also pointless seeing how aliasing becomes less evident with high resolution)... even then, I would rather spend the $$$ on another graphics card rather than a $1k CPU.
