well now that I'm getting the parts from jok3r (thanks!), I need a PCI-E video card. I currently have a 7800GS AGP. If any of you have any suggestions (or one laying around) on an inexpensive pci-e video card that is a decent gaming card (at least close to the 7800GS). I really only play WoW so I don't need anything super high end.

If you only play WoW why are you looking to upgrade from 7800GS? Sure it's not new or the best thing on the block but WoW isn't super graphic extensive either.

i'm not particularly looking to upgrade. I'm just getting a new motherboard from jok3r that does not have AGP so my AGP 7800GS is useless. I have to get a PCI-E video card of some sort, that's all.

I played wow flawlessly with a 7600gts. Stay away from the shitty cards though. You should know what they are.

Ill send you the ram on Monday.

really? good to know. it must be the slower ram and cpu that slows my current computer down. i play wow at 1280x1024 but not on the highest settings. and I still get some slow downs in certain areas.

The comp you are about to get is going to kill your other one.

There might be some cheaper 8xxx models that will probably out perform the 7600

Ill look.

I would NEVER recommend an 8600 card BUT,since you only play wow, for 60 bucks and it outperfoms the 7600 by a lot you cant go wrong.

Oh totally missed that you were moving from AGP to PCI-E.
