Why the 9800gtx? for 20$ You can get a msi gtx 260 which is much faster.

I have the Gigabyte EP45-DS3 with an Intel Q6600 and it's really nice. Mobo has good overclocking and is very stable.

Good point about the video card. I have been a nvidia snob for a while. I will take a look at the ati cards.
