I bought a cheap $60 replacement motherboard for the Q6600. I will use that for now, and when I upgrade I will demote the Q6600 to file server duty and put the current server to rest (S754 Sempron...eww) I talked to a buddy of mine who works at intel, and he says Ivy Bridge will OC like a boss.

I use a 720P projector, max resolution is 1280x720 the low resolution has helped keep my 8800gt serving me for an extended time, but with BF3 and Skyrim i think i need a boost. What card is going to let me turn everything to max, but still give me the best bang for the buck? under $300...
