intel d865hv mobo
7600gs agp8x 256mb 128bit
i am a photographer...but i am already set with gear...and i was thinking every now and then i could play something direct x...so since im young (and can't seem to get a job in this town) i was thinking of this setup for Christmas..and wow is stuff cheap

Evga 9800gt 512mb 256 bit $125
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130380
Equals out to be $405...which is pretty cheap
ill just reuse my cooler master case (which is awesome) 500watt PSU (reliable)...lite on combo drive..and my sata hd
this would be my first atx mobo
so do you think this would help me look into some games like the new Stalker, maybe Crysis on med/low (idc about high graphics really..as long as i can run it smooth it is fun to play)
thanks
