ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131013)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16819103773)
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16820145590)
Seagate Barracuda 7200 250GB 7200 RPM (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16822148261)
Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-150 MCE PCI Interface 1042 Tuner (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16815116620)
Already have 2 ASUS Dual layer DVD burners with lightscribe for it as well and a 500W PSU.
Now heres where i need the assistance.I need to find a PCI IDE controller since i would like to install my two 250GB HDD's from my old rig i currently have a Promise Ultra133 TX2 but it is not supported by vista.So im on the hunt.I also wanted some opinions on a good graphics card to get the most bang for the buck so to speak.It need to be a PCI express card of course and preferribly at least 256MB onboard video memory supporting DirectX 10.
I prefer to use newegg and they have tons of brands there however many i do not have any epierience with so just looking for recommendations.Thanks for the time.
