I agree. And the 8600GT/8600GTS is actually an acceptable card if there is a need for light gaming, 3d, folding, backup card incase your main rig's dies, etc,.

You will not beable to buy a DFI board within your budget.

I would say get a Gigabyte or MSI motherboard and some GSkill Memory

Why is a DFI board a requirement? Are you using this for regular work or are you intending on squeezing every single milligram of performance out of this?
