Since I've decided to go with a mobo which will have PCi-E slots, It seems I have a very limited choice in graphics cards. I have a pretty low budget, so the best I' seemed to fit is the ATi x700 Pro 256 MB .. is this a good graphics card? I need a good graphics card to play games like HL2, Doom3 without any problems, and a very good framerate. what would be better around the same price, if applicable ?Is this a good choice? Thanks
 
Get the 6600GT. It is by far better than the X700 Pro and is in fact better than the X800 Pro in some cases. Its only $250.
 
PCIe are not that limited. There is a bunch of them:

Ok, that link doesn't work and since I can't delete this post, I'll tell you what to do.

Just click on the link below for Newegg and browse for video cards. Under "Interface", select PCIe and you'll get tons of graphic boards that are PCI-e.
