I'm currently looking to build a budget minded rig around this barebones(listed below).

Asus T3-M2NC51PV $169

I cant find much info other then retailers and customer reviews, but from pictures it looks like it has decent room for a newer video card once I decide to. Ive been looking forward to the low end dx10 cards wehn they come out. I mostly play WoW and I dont plan to OC, so my question is.. how powerfull of a card do you guys think I could put into this thing if I chose to? thanks in advance.

Rest of the system specs are(rough):

3600x2 brisbane
2gig ram DDR2 800
DvD burner/sata
WD 160gig HDD 1 platter/sata

Currently running:
P4 2.4 ghz
1gig Corsair DDR 333
Radeon 9700pro
 
ok first off your link didnt work. But I dont see the value in that barebones(case, mobo and 300 w psu)

for the same money you could have this,

Mobo:

$52.99

Case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811212033
$24.99

PSU:

$24.99 (MIR)

This is better than the barebones setup and would run the rest of the stuff nicely.

What video card were u thinking of upgrading to?
