    I have been on the internet for two weeks trying to figure out what to buy. My husband and I are going to build a computer and I am looking for some suggestions please. I have about 450 dollars to spend on motherboard, cpu and video card. I am looking for something that will play all my husbands games with issue and to do some photo editing. Not much more than that. But I can not decide on what to buy, brand model etc... can anyone please throw me out some suggestions...thanks

    one more thing please.....do you think that for what we want the pc to do we are over doing it on the motherboard...it certainly does alot/have alot of extras that I don't even know what they are for...Should we downsize a little to Asus A8N-SLI SC939 nVIDIA nFORCE4 SLI Chipset DDR400 SATA Raid GBt Lan Audio ATX or Asus A8N-E SC939 NVIDIA® nForce™ 4 Ultra PCI-E x16 SATA GIGABIT LAN AUDIO....Would one of these be okay or should we stay with the deluxe? The main thing for us will be the graphics, just a good pc for gaming, backing up dvds and in the future, transferring vhs movies to pc to put on video...Thanks again

    The amin advantive with the "Deluxe" version is the SATA2 control,. whihc if your going to be using for DVD Backuping ;) then u should really go for, but at the moment the speeds are very similar because it has only recently come out so maybe worth looking at the sppeds of the Hard drive and looking for a 10K one rather than a 7,200 one.
