The X850 has just had a big drop in price at Newegg and is really kicy ars with the fan venting outside the back, very good stats. If that is too much ($220.00) then the X800GTO or GTO2 (better) is in the $175.00 range

IronK, I have the Asus A8N-SLI Mobo and it is a dream. Asus and DFI are the 2 most recommended and it is around $120.00 (maybe less now) and most 939 Mobos have amny feedbacks on Newegg
I got SLI in case I wanted to go that route latter.

The 6800 has not worked well on SH3, the 6600 has actually runs better. If you can not go the 7800 go the X800 if SH3 is important to you. Search the back post to see all the headaches involving the 6800 and SH3.

While I agree the SE series should be avoided I bought a 9800SE128MB 2 years ago and recently unlocked the pipes to 8 and OCed it to 410/730 and it is as good or better than a 9800128MB pro, seriously (for my email PC, 2700 1.5GBDDR) It runs Sh3 decent but certainly not like the bigger PC(3500, X800GTO 2 GB DDR).
