the MSI board already comes with the 2 USB port hub so you already got your 6 ports.... no worries man.

the memory doesnt matter, its the GPU core

the 8800GTX is more powerful and you said you can get it for 200 bucks....

the 3870 is also better and it costs less

I going change mine mind on that card about 8800 it has less steams on it. I'm going with one I pick out up on my thread. One I pick has better fan cooling on it.

I'm assuming you meant the 3850 here... not quite so much difference though, even then.

Approximate speeds:
3850: 100%
3870 = 9600 GT: 115%
8800 GTX/GTS G92: 140%

On my view sonic LCD HDTV I run 1440by900 works so far great on my x700pro. Should I take the 8800 GTX card then ATI? I just want double check. He said I can try it out later on once I get my parts.

lol i was thinking about the 9600 and how its roughly equivalent to the 3870

then how those 2 9600s in SLi barely beat an 8800, not always though.

lol

Basically Robert 1:1 GTX better. However, if you area interested in doing Xfire (2) 3870 are better. BTW, if you do decide to do Xfire I recommend the 750W Corsair.
