So my current motherboard is going bad (as detailed in this thread).
I need a new computer, but have a budget of ~$500. I'm keeping the PSU, Case, and Hard Drive, so all I need is a new mainboard, CPU, RAM, and video card.
Here's my current shopping list

I'm having trouble determining what video card to get. I've got a sturdy old MSI 6870 Hawk right now.
