Total W tax $685.45, I'm trying to find everything else at different sites with no tax and I will see how much more I can Squeeze out of it, For GFX card, What should I get in the $100-$140 range?
 
if you could spend $150 I'd recommend the HIS 256mb hd3850

but since you can't I guess the best you can get is the x1950pro
 
Yeah, I was shooting for one of those, I'm squeezing more out of the rig now.. I'll update shortly.
 
isnt the 3850 slightly faster? i would say go with the 8800gs if it isnt looks liek a nice card what im worried about with them is ram problems liek that of the 7900gt. had a litle dinky heat sink like that.
 
the hd3850 512mb is faster than the 384mb, but the 256mb is not (which is its competitor in this price range)
