And don't rule out nvidia because you have an ATI mobo. Nforce4 motherboards work great with ATI video cards.

Some far more elaborate setups go up over $2500- at times for gaming machines.
The chipset doesn't always have a bearing as long as a good card is run. You can take
an Asus, MSI, and others with the NVidia as well as ATI brand cards and see some
good results there. You have the support for the PCI-E readily available.
