Great mid-range board.

GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3: $149.99

eVGA Geforce 7900GS: $215.99 ($195.99 after $20 MIR)

The eVGA cards are nice, because they have the step-up plan. If, within 90 days, you decide you want a better video card, you can step-up to a better model eVGA card and they will exchange with you and you just pay the difference. GL

Ahh thanks a ton. I checked out that mobo though a lot of people had problems? Any other suggestions guys?

Which problems are you specifically talking about ? See the GA-965P-DS3 thread on XS, the vast majority of issues were adressed some time ago through BIOS updates (the latest version was officially released yesterday to improve E6300 & E6400 overclocking) or have very simple workarounds.

1Tanker, you didn't link to the GA965P-DS3, the correct link can be found Here
