I just built a new system with an XFX Gforce 6800 GT, and I am VERY satisfied. I can't definitively say what is better, ATI or NVidia, but this card SCREAMS. I would go with that, personally.

Works like a charm. I'm getting decent temps (after gaming for a while) and I'm much happier with the noise. I love my LL V1000B, but DAMN it's noisy with all that mesh.

I bought this board from Newegg, installed it and everything looked ok at first. Then weird stuff started to happen, random lock ups, needing to reset a few times before it would boot, and then finally nothing. The machine wouldn't boot, but all fans, cards etc. would have power. I just...
