I'm working on building a new system and I found a nice mobo/cpu combo for $250. My past experiences with a Gigabyte board was pretty good. I was wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this one, and if its any good. I was also wondering about the nForce3 250 GB Chipset, I've heard bad things about some of the nForce chipsets. If anyone has come across some better deals please let me know, especially if its a 3500+ 939 processor.
Thanks in advance.

Honestly, spend an extra few bucks on an SLI board, regardless of whether or not you can get two video cards, you can always add one in later.

I would, but I just bought a new AGP card a few weeks ago. Don't wanna have to go and spend money on a new PCX card so soon. I will probably get a PCX board later this year or next year.

PCI Express isn't as big a deal as everyone thinks. I don't think ANY games even fully utilize the entire bandwidth of AGP 8x
