thanks very much, well for now I can't afford an 8800, so I am getting a ati x1950. Since this board has SLI (nvidia) will it be able to support this ati card?
ok lets see here. PCI-E 2.0 wouldn't that require a different motherboard? case looks pretty good, and the ram isnt the right type (mine needs ddr2 800). Ya I'll probably go with xp for better performance. And I just now noticed this but I should of posted this in PC Hardware sorry.
Ok so I am buying all the parts then putting it togeather myself. I will be reusing my monitor keyboard speakers etc.. and my goal is $500. This is what I got so far.

That just leaves the case, which i want it to be cheap looks relativly nice and have a psu with it. And the video card. I dream of 8800s but with my price range i dont think so. So i was wondering what the next best thing is, also any other suggestions to something better would be nice. Thank you.
So I don't have enough money for an 8800 now, but I will get it later. So what is the video card that is next best thing? Under $150? I was thinking a 8600 or a ati x1950. Any other suggestions?
Looking to buy a new pc, I already have monitor, keyboard, speakers etc.. But I just want a good gaming pc for $500. Dreaming of an 8800, but my price range kind of destroys that dream. Unless one of you know of a good site or other suggestions. Thank you!
OK so i have a microphone but the sound card my pc came with (soundblaster live! 24 bit) doesn't have the right plug in. but my onboard sound has it. so im wondering how to activiate my onboard sound since it doesnt work right now. thank you
