If I were you, I would spend $40 or so and get at least the 7300GS PCI-E. That way you could play the newer games on low settings, but at least you could play them.

im not really into games-well should i say i havnt played a game in 3years..
i just want a good fast pc for internet burning dvds and maybe a dj media centre

although i am interested in a pci-e based card

just really wanted to know what yor views or recomendations are on the board the cpu and memmory?

If you aren't into gaming, you might as well get a non-SLi motherboard, like the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3.
