top motherboard and video card were my x mas gifts, bottom two are my pc now. trying to build the best gamming machine out of them.



thank you so much for any help with this.|||The 7950 Gt by far (I have it, to replace a 8500 GT, I know, what a coincidence)



The motherboards, I am not so sure.|||Go with the 7950gt. That or perhaps look into an 8600gt card. I would strongly advise against getting the 8500gt however.



Also motherboards I'd go with the Asus p5vd2-x.|||asus p5vd2-x as for the card i'm not sure
