I think you were unjust in your proposal that I know nothing of how computer components work together and I would like an apology.
I'm sorry, then.

I just think that if you're going to spend that much on a computer, you should get the best. I've just personally always felt a little frustated when I know that a computer (not peripherals) isn't as good as it could be in terms of processing power. And I think that at $5000, you should be able to feel like you have the most powerful system available, because you can. I could easily send him that monitor that isn't working out for me, and maybe even get him one of those Audigy card-things spiris was talking about too, so that he could easily still spend most of it on the computer itself. Basically, I don't like to see people go cheaper/lower quality on components if they don't have to, and many times I'd actually rather pay part of it myself (even if I'll never touch the computer) than see them do that.

Also, you said that most motherboards weren't DDR3 compatible. I had already made sure that wasn't an issue by selecting one that had good DDR3 performance, but you didn't seem to realize that.

If anything, I was hinting that you had inferior Te, and I had tertiary Ti, so I obviously understood how systems worked better than you did. It was kind of a cheap shot on the INFP's functional order, and I probably did it because I was still irritated about that time you mocked me. Well, I guess we're even now.

Anyway, I really didn't mean to ridicule your suggestions, but some of that information is based on typical scenarios rather than the one I created. I'm glad that you seem to understand where I'm coming from with "If you're going to spend that much, why not get the best?" I mean, if he were only out to spend $2000, I would have suggested cheaper components. I just believe in getting the best possible system for your money.
