Yet another upgrade thread......

Motherboard

RAM

Video Card

Current specs are in my sig.

The new motherboard will allow me to ditch my IDE controller card for adding new drives, and the onboard fire wire is a nice touch.

For the video card, I just want something that will last me the next 2-3 years before I absolutely have to upgrade again. Would an X700 Pro suffice for this since it would save me 80 bucks, or should I just stick with the X800?

Machine will be used for basic computing, listening to music, watching movies, gaming, video encoding and editing, and photo editing.

What about a processor?

you can get a X800XL from monarch if you want, it costs the same as the X800PRO and is faster, but its OEM...

I'll check out the X800XL. I forgot about Monarch.

My current processor should work in that board.
