Will be using my current 250gig Maxtor HDD and my 15" LCD for a while.

I was thinking of waiting for PCI-E but then I also thought on every other rig I have built that by the time I want to replace the video card there is a way better motherboard out anyhow.

save up some more money and get a 6800 GT

And get a better PSU than the one you wanted. Antec/Enermax/PCP&C was one of the best units available and you will need it if you want to get a GF6800 video card.

I dont really want to spend $400 or more on a video card not really worth it.

I would get about 2 raptors for dvd burning and games that is all

 

[Kevin003]

Actually it is worth it considering the performance boost that you get. Well thats what my friends say anyways i just say stick to whatever price you got, thats why im still on my radeon 9200 PCI owns all

I agree with you there but when I only game a couple tmes a month then it becomes not worth it
