Comments: I've had major hardware conflicts with my current pc, I think it's the gigabyte mobo with ram and my gpu, eitherway, I am going to take out my xfx 260 and put in a low end gpu and then bring it to work. I'll use the GTX 260 on my new build so please help me with a machine catered to that. I don't want display driver error crashes, and yes I switched from ATI 4870 to 260, xp to vista, so it's definitely a hardware conflict. I bought an LG 23 inch monitor also already. Thanks guys

Also, quick note, I rather not use a gigabyte mobo, and not sure whether to go with i5 or i7. If you get an i5 chip with mobo, I wouldn't be able to upgrade to an i7 chip in the future?
