this to be a really good choice. My mother has one. For $20 more there's the 3Gb version.
That's a nice card, but I decided to pick up the one I previously listed as I found it for 320 on Amazon (300 with rebate) and there was only one left in stock. This may or may not be a mistake because a new mid-grade NVIDIA may be coming out soon which could result in a price drop, but I'm missing having a desktop.
Also, Physx support would have been nice, but I've always tended to buy AMD graphics cards and the autism within me decided to go with one again.
I decided to buy an Asrock Extreme 6 MOBO earlier because they were offering 60 bucks worth of RAM to go with it on Newegg even though I was leaning more towards an ASUS MOBO at a similar price.
I'm also probably going to get an i5 and 120GB Sandisk SSD. I'll have an older hard drive and my external hard drive to complement the SSD.
Any recommendations on a good, cheap CPU cooler that can beat the South Florida heat?
My biggest worry about building this PC has to do with the MOBO. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
