Video Card
i will either go with this video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814102536

or this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814123158

(please tell me which video card is better and which one you would pick)
 
I would pick the abit video card. Don't get that power supply it is pure crap....and that motherboard.....ugh. Jetway, get an Abit or MSI.
 
can anyone tell me what motherboard has a

socket 939
1gz or above fsb
1 pci-express slot
any number of ddr sdram 400/3200 slots
at least one sata 150 hard drive connector
any number of usb 2.o slots
 
Almost all socket-939 meet those specs, i'd think. Gigabyte and DFI do good ones.

The power supply looks ok, but i think you can find better. I think you'd be fine with a 400-Watt one.
 
DFI, Gigabyte, MSI, Asus are good brands from what I hear, those are the brand I would recommend as well.
