Hey Everyone
Well, as the thread name sais, i am looking for some help choosing some new hardware. First of all the budget limit is around 300 dollards (maybe just a little more) And i am looking for most bang for the buck obviously.
Current Setup - Athlon 64 3000+ @2.27
Gigabyte GA-K8VT800
Albatron GeForce FX5700 256mb
2x512mb Kingston PC3200 memory

What i am looking for is a minimum priced motherboard which supports PCI-E, while having abundance of features (i am not much of an overclocker, so nothing of that kind) Also in addition to that i want to supply myself with a good quality video card (pcie) under $200 price tag.
What i currently came up with is
- MSI K8N Neo4-F or SOLTEK NF4PRO motherboard
- GIGABYTE GV-RX70P256V Radeon X700PRO 256MB or XFX Geforce 6600GT 128MB or eVGA 128-P2-N368-TX Geforce 6600GT
The motherboards i choose based mainly on their overall features, mostly interested in having a lot of usual pci slots (i have a lot of cards to put in there) and generall bord layout, all connectors should be on the sides. The video cards, thats what i am not sure about, is there much difference in performance between 256mb and 128mb models? All i know that the clock speeds of 256 are much lower, so less overclocking options, right?. So yeah, i need help deviciding on the best setup and i am open to any other suggestions Thanx in advance.

I'd go for the eVGA, then the XFX, and the x700 comes in last

Crossing Guard

i'd kick it with evga

6600gt is sweet too
