Well right now I am running an Athlon 64 (Socket 754) on an Asus K8V-SE Deluexe with an ATI 9600XT. I know its nothing special, but it gets the job done for the most part. I have some extra cash laying around and have been contemplating upgrading the innards of my machine. This is what I have been thinking.

ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluexe (I was going to go with the refurb costs $133 on newegg)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Manchester 2000MHz HT ($297)

The part I am struggling with is the video card. I used to work in the computer industry so I was in the mainstream of new technology, but I have fallen out. I need some advice for what video card I should get that would go with those (or if not with those specs you can suggest your own). I am looking in the sub-$200 range, so the total would be no more than about $600. I normally do lots of gaming, some flash stuff, and some video editing. Hope thats all you need!

Thanks for any thoughts! I will just sit back and let you guys at it. :)
