What would be a good video card for the motherboard that i have right now : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128045 Because i might just buy a processor and a Video card. :(

the main problem i see with ur motherboard is the placement of the sata ports as most videocards now are very large, but a good video card u have

less that 100 dollars - 4670 ati
100-150 - ati 4830/ geforce 9800gt
150-200 - ati 4850
200 - 250 - ati 4870 / geforce gtx 260.

if u get a 4830/58/70 or the gtx 260, try to get 90 angled sata cables so u can still use ur sata ports

Here is one Combo Deal that is very reasonable.
Depending on the resolution and quality settings either CPU the Phenom II x4 or the Q6600 are still not going to get you out of the low 20fps with your card based on the carts I looked at for that game. PCs are like racing engines you can put the most expensive heads and killer block piston combo possible but pick the wrong cam and its junk. I'm just trying to show you a killer CPU and motherboard aren't worth squat if your video card is keeping you at 20fps. This being a budget build you cant spend 80% of the funds on one piece and expect to have a well balanced system.

Well the prob with that motherboard is that it doesn't have a 1.0 x16 video card slot for the video card i have.

Do 2.0 x16 Video card slots support 1.0 video cards?
