One question about the sound quality;
When playing very beginning of the song “Girls - Beastie Boys”, pitch up. the sound is terrible. Will a better sound card cure this type of issue..??

Not really sure what you are talking about but better PC with the more power can improve sound quality using Keylock.

Why did you took this processor, you should take Pentium D 915 Dual Core for a 20-30 Euros more? I also recommend the new one Core 2 6420 with 4Mb cache, it is the best for the money now for sure!
Which sound card do you use, Maya?

Onboard card,, I had a 955xbk Intel board that went bad so i went with the asus.. So, If I'm not scratching the sound card isn't that important?

Well no, but ordinary Sound Blaster Live 24bit USB has much better sound and dynamics IMHO and it is around 60$, if you can find it.
And I must disappoint you, most of dead motherboards in my Pc shop/Service are Asus :/ Asus has dropped it's quality in my experience. I suggest Microstar or Foxconn motherboards.
