You do realise you are just posting the same thread over and over don't you lol

The link i've added shows that you can infact get away with using the onboard gfx as I suggested in one of your previous threads. It would be best to build a well rounded system to your budget (what is it now? was £400 tops last time i saw one of your threads) then you can upgrade to a better gfx card in the future.

Go with an AMD system as they are usually cheaper to buy and still offer decent performance. I seem to remember stulid spec'ing a 955BE x4 cpu with the gigabyte s2 mobo. Find that spec and go with it as time goes by the gfx cards will change in price. So that 5830 stulid suggested will either get cheaper or a better card will take it's price position. It's far easier to chose 1 gfx card on a budget than a whole system.

Good luck hope you are happy with what you settle on
