If you want to maximize it for now (which i think may be a better choice) shifting nforce3-250+6800series may work better -- sure you dont have 'guaranteed' upgradability however a $700 PCIe setup isnt gonna have a world more upgradeability to it :)

Ok, before you reply with a really complicated answer to what I'm gonna say that makes me look like a total utter pratt, I'm just gonna say my last sentence before a R.I.P :p Wouldn't an nforce 4 chipset work better for gaming?

P.S. Let me down gently :p
