Is "pretty good" an understatement or what? That should be running really nice. Anyway, IMO you've made good decisions so far CharlieMurphy. Personally I'd have gone for a better graphics card, but the golden rule is you pick a budget and stick to it. There's always going to be something just that little bit better, just another $50, and al of a sudden you're selling a kidney to afford your computer. Look at it this way: The 8800GTS ia better card then the 1950XT, but 1950XT is in your budget. Graphics cards are easy to replace, and you can sell on the 1950XT or whatever at a later date, when you've got more money to be spending on a graphics card. What IzzyCraft says about "ATI bridges" is true only in so far as you don't want an nForce motherboard with an ATI card, because as far as I know they're incompatible. Otherwise, you'd only have to worry about whether it was Crossfire compatible, and then you'd only have to worry about THAT if you wanted to use Crossfire. This next step with buying the Motherboard is probably going to be the most important part, because it's the most annoying to replace (imo), so you might be stuck with it for a while. Pay attention to FSB speeds, etc. because this will dictate what RAM you can install. Good luck, and while the CPU isn't the be all and end all, especially when games are involved, it still pays to have a better one! All these posts about just buying a shit CPU and the best GPU you can possibly afford are flawed in so far as the CPU still plays a part in a lot of stuff, especially physics in games. You shouldn't (overly) neglect any part, but you could possibly afford an "average" CPU in exchange for more RAM or a better GPU. | ||

The mobo chipset has nothing to do with the video card. I'm running an X1950XT on an nForce4 Ultra motherboard, and it works just fine. | ||

I admit I have never tested whether it was true or not, and I'm not entirely sure where I heard it so it might just be some strange thought that popped into my head, and was actualy complete bs. | ||
