Hello, welcome to geeks to go
Putting your post into the system and upgrading forum might see you have more replies next time.

160 gig doesnt last long these days (not for me anyway)
i have 80g sata primary, 120 gig sata secondary and they are full aready, mostly games music and movies that im working on.
With the editing software and others, not much room to move.
Others may disagree.

If your really into songs i would not have a computer that did not have at least a Creative Audigy sound card. Much better sound than the on-board sound on MB's. Creative PlayCenter rocks, also. One of the best rippers i've used. I agree that HD space is needed. I have 50 gigs of music(10,000 MP3 songs) and over 100 gigs of video so a second storage drive or a larger main drive would be advisable. My latest build has 160 gig and 250 gig sata drives.

Yeah bigger HD is probably needed ive filled my 200Gb lots of times in the last year. I will probably get a second 320 or 250 for more movies i tend to horde them.

Cant say im ever to fussed about sound cards never a priority, if you have cash spare get one but its not something to lose sleep over unless you take the time and money and get a properly set up sound system wiht good speakers you wont notice the difference really. If you have good sound setup then a sound card becomes more neccesary.

also if you rnot doing anything extensive or playing games then
maybe you could get away with only 512mb of RAM i not this isnt much but if your not doing much with the pc then maybe you could save yourself some money and put it towards a bigger hard drive

also you dont need a crossfire board which as 2 pci-express slots unless you are planning on getting 2 video cards which you will not need for what you are doing

plus you havent listed a grahics card
just some thoughts,
