In terms of CPU and motherboard not really a big difference but some of the newest Intel has had problems, so perhaps AMD
Video card definitely nvidia. ATI is not quite ready yet with the new drivers, but hopefully soon
Sound - don't know - use 2+1 myself and to few questions in the forum. It seems though that you should not use Creative, but with the exception of (sorry I forgot which one) they should work with some tweaking
