If you have the money definitely go GT in vid cards. What model exactly were you looking at?

here are the links to the video cards in question



7900 GT

7900 GS

Yeah you should go with the GT. You won't notice a HUGE difference but it'll be a little better performance.

any ideas about that mobo?

 

[M733mhz]

I don't think it'd be a bad motherboard, it got good reviews from what I saw. I don't know much about the intel boards myself though.

The reason i was thinking of getting that one was because of the on board video i could use that untill some decently priced direct X 10 video cards come out

Yeah, good thinking, just know that you're not gonna be able to do any sort of gaming whatsoever with onboard. It displays windows that's about it.

yes i know i couldnt do any gaming as of when i got it but i could get the computer burned in and windows and programs loaded as my time allows.
