    The latest videocard from ATI, at least 2 gigs of ram and a dual core processor would surely be a best buy specially if you plan to do some gaming.

    Are you upgrading or going whole new parts? If your upgrading we need to know if your machine is amd or intel based.

    Athlon X2 5000+
    Asus M2N4-Sli
    2Gigs RAM
    GeForce 8600GTS

    It's some kind of middle-end PC, but it's good

    I'm not fond of nForce 5 at the moment cause it doesn't has many differences from 4 and besides I still have some IDE hdds))
    I work at Epox MF4-J3 Ultra and don't want to change it yet.
    I have enough from it:)

    To my mind it is not necessary to buy some extra expensive variant of MB.
    Most of their features are useless. I supppose you don't need six BIOSes on motherboard just in case for extra 100$))
