Also, this might help budget wise cause I am still wanting to spend maybe around $450 without a video card! YEY!
The Biostar 7050 has VGA/DVI OB and OCs well for about $75...

But, I'd consider a fuller featured MB that you can upgrade more later and use your current card to get by if it plays what games you need for now.

What mobo would you recommend? Something to go crossfire later one? I still want to keep it around $450 though... Thanks!

Unless you spend far more, the lower end AM2 MBs do 2x 8x with Crossfire.

What are you talking about? this was 2 months ago... Around $400 would be better than your comp just without the graphic card which I stated I will purchase at a later time. Thanks for the comment though....

I didn't mean anything by my comment I just meant that around $400 it is a very good systems. I plan to overclock too... I was just saying because I didn't find your comment useful and this thread is over 2 months old.
