Default Looking to upgrade
I've had my current build since January of this year.
I'm looking forward to get a better GFX. Possibly the 8800GTX, or 2900pro.

Would it be a good idea to upgrade my mobo too?

I plan to keep everything else the same.

Advice? What mobo now is good to get?

Not really an issue at the moment.

I just want to hear your views and the reasons behind the choices.
