How do you figure that processor and GPU combo are only $86? I don't see where it says that. They show a combo deal with the processor, X1650Pro video card, and free T-shirt for $215, but that'* all I see.

Also, could someone point me to the best ATI video card you can find under $150? I have no idea what all these "pixel pipelines," "GDDR2," "GDDR3," etc. are all about. Anyone want to give me a crash course in this stuff? I think I'll probably go with this motherboard, this processor, and this RAM. I need a good video card to complement these components. Let me know what you all think of those selections.
Continual thanks to all of you

Hey! I found a hijacker!
Sorry for all the questions, folks. I just need a couple answers, or somebody to give me links to a mobo, processor, RAM, and GPU that will go together nicely.

About the DDR2, don't complicate things, just get ddr1. I've used both kinds of systems and, really, I didn't see the difference. Don't worry about it, just get ddr.
And sorry about the hijacking
