PCIe cards:
6800GT good price/ good overclocking
X850XT good price/ good overclocking / IMO better IQ

Both are sub $200 now

there's one 6800ULTRA at newegg for $259

but the 6800GT that i'd get would be the ASUS for $219

but this could all change buy the time i have the money for a video card. can't run a video card, or mobo for that matter, without a psu. then there's the unknown about my mobile newark.

so, just to get the mobo running i have to save up $100 psu, $200+ vid card, and possibly $90 for a cpu. then later buy another 6800GT and run SLI. i'd grab two SATAII 80gig hdd's for $50 each at some point, but thats an after thought.

I would suggest a 7600GT as its a better bang for the buck then a 6800GS/GT.
