this will be my first build and my budget for everything but monitor is $1200. this will be used for gaming, watchin videos, and downloading music. my bigest problem is picking out a mobo and card that will work the best for me within my budget. i just changed from a 754 socket to a 939 socket for upgradability. also should i go with one 512 or 2x512 for memory? im still undecided.
thanks in advanced.
