Go for the Ultra its cheaper and can also do SLI but its 5% to 10% less performance than the proper MSI Neo4 SLI.
 
If you don't plan on going the SLI route I would stick to nforce 3 chipset boards and spend the savings on upgrading something else...like the CPU or more/better ram, since you will be using cpu/mem intensive video apps.
 
Is there anything I should be looking for in a nforce 3 board, or even a bundle if there are savings to be had? There are quite a few to choose from and prices vary quite a bit
 
Ok so thats

CPU - AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester 90nm (Socket 939) - Retail (CP-097-AM) (Socket 939) £129.95

Mobo - MSI Neo4 Ultra (mobo means botherboard, right?)

VC - 6600GT (WinFast PX6600 GT TDH Extreme)

Which just leaves me, I think, RAM, Hard drive and PSU, and I'm sure I can figure out a psu, but what am I looking for in RAM and hard drive?

PCFormat did a test on budget drives, a 200gigabyte drive for about £75 won that I think.
