Why go with an AGP card when you can get a PCI-E, out of curiosity? Shouldn't really cost any more, and then you can get a "good" 939 board like the DFI or Asus offerings.

I agree with Whir (gasp!). You should look into a PCI Express mother board and video card. You will see better performance and the price differences are not that great. You can stick with that video card, but in the PCI-E version, and the ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI would be an excellent choice in motherboards. | |

Nope. It's just as reliable as AGP. Plus it's only getting faster as they develope new video cards and games designed to take advantage of the increased bandwidth of PCI Express. | |

The Deluxe version has a few more RAID and SATA options, other than that, they are virtually the same board. It would be a great choice too if you don't need those extra options and want to save a few bucks. | |

Before you go out and buy that, may I reccomend some different ram, that is cheaper.
PQI Turbo, it has great reviews, is cheaper than that stuff you picked out, and it is instock, the ram you picked isn't as of now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820141154 |
