More Information

I was originally going to get a p45 with an ati 4850 card, then decided after a price drop to get the 9800gtx, then I started thinking what chipset would work best for me, I need it mostly for games, so all of the bells and wistles are not needed and I dont want more than 2 graphic card slots to save money, I dont want to spend more than 150$.
