So, should I get the 7900gt or the x1900XT?

There is like a 150 dollar difference, 7900gt being the cheaper of the 2...

(Out of the setup listed so far in this thread, what could take some downgrading on and not lose much performance? Because my budget is tight, and bringing down the cost a little bit would certainly help me out...)

If your budget is really looking pretty tight, then get the 7900GT and save yourself some cash. You might be able to downgrade on the mobo maybe. The one you have selected is very nice.

The mobo I have selected is only 75 bucks... That is nice? (seems cheap, but then again I don't know)

O My apologies, I read incorrectly. I would personally stick with the 7900GT.

The 7900GT will be as capable as the x1900XT?

well x1900XT IS better then 7900GT ... but you will not see any difference AT ALL when playing games, unless you use 3dmax or some designing software which require alot of rendering

im just trying to save u some $

The X1900XT will produce noticable difference over the 7900GT, but if it doesnt fit in your budget the 7900GT is a great choice. Just if you can squeeze it in to your build, the X1900XT is a great card. If you dont buy the audigy sound card (your motherboards integrated sound is sufficient for most tasks), and get a 4200+, this X1900XT should fit in. If you have some extra money, consider changing the motherboard to an ASUS A8R-MVP.
