I just ordered this after selling some stuff on ebay(my DC and N64 sniff).

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535
and i got the combo deal so i got this as well
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814142052
from what everyone on guru3d and the reviewers at newegg you can flash it to a x850xt easily(the x800xt sells for a lot more). it will be my first ati card.
I also ordered this mobo to go with it
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813130491
and got a half gig of kingston ram(pc 3200)
ill be getting a new case and HDD before long also.

all for about 450. I think i did ok.

My girlfriend will be pissed until I give her son a pretty kickass system(the on i have now) after i get a new case.
or do you think i should ebay my 6600gt and give him the 5200 i have sitting around. maybe ill ebay my 3000+xp as well and give him
my old 1800+ heeh. gotta recoup my money.

lol, yeah i already sold the 5200 on ebay. now if i sell my audigy 2 ill have enough in paypal to get a new case ive been looking at. the onboard sound on this new mobo is excellent(8channel, 7.1) so no real need for the card.

You have much to learn young padawan.

Ok, no onboard sound can match the quality of the Audigy 2 or higher. Even with 7.1 surround, you just can't match it with the cheap piece of crap that comes on a motherboard.
