Thanks...
The graphics card looks good, but the motherboard doesnt cost $106 like you said... It costs $159, and that is a bit more over budget... Also, I think I know the answer to this, but I want to ask it just to make sure... I noticed that the plugs on the graphics cards are what they call Dual DVI & Vivo, but how do you plug a regular monitor into this? Do the graphics cards come with a convertor plug or something? One more thing, if any one else has some recommendations for my situation, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks! Regards, Adam Murray |

Thanks for getting that link for me...
It is a little above my price limit still because I have already gone over a little on the other parts. I like the graphics card for $309.. but I need to find a motherboard for a little bit cheaper. What do you guys think? Will the motherboard work good with all my parts if its a little cheaper? Let me know what you would suggest. Thanks! -Adam |

Nope, sorry, I cant find a cheaper motherboard that is any good.... Seriously, that mobo is very very cheap at the moment, you could always go back down to a 7800gt to save cash.
