[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 110059, member: 11550"] My bit of advice is to go for an Nvidia motherboard with the 6150 chipset. This has built in graphics, but it's actually a really good built in gfx. These boards only cost a small amount more than a board with basic built in gfx and will save you upgrading to a separate video card. As long as the gfx natively supports DX9 then your CPU doesn't work very hard at all (unless you get an analogues software card that doesn't have built in encoding hardware). [/QUOTE]
