im building a cheap box for my brother to be able to World of Warcraft. I bought Athlon 64 3200, and a BIOSTAR NF4ST-A9 Socket 939 nVIDIA (it was cheap) is there any problems mixing a ATI card with the nvidia chipset? or would it be better just to stay all nVIDIA? Thank you for your input

I would look at an x850xt. Newegg as some for as low as $119.99.

Newegg x850xt

Just brought this up in another forum thread

its a little more than you wanted to spend but not too bad for the performance, if you can get another 30 bucks together

xfire cards for it are only 165 now at newegg, so for anyone wanting to spend a little more its an aweome deal right now
