Thanks for the quick answers guys

- @ Soleron : My old 8800 GTS was running games like Crysis, Dragon Age,The Witcher,  Mass effect, Batman AA and Stalker really fine on a 1280x1024 monitor.6 months ago, I bought a fine LED LCD 32" TV for 1920*1080 resolution, and it appears some games really suffered from this upgrade, especially Dragon Age because I had to lower the resolution and change some settings, while ME2 was perfectly fine on relatively high settings.  On the other hand, I got lately Oblivion through Steam but I never managed to play more than 5 mn because it crashed whatever the settings/resolution.

- The dedicated network/sound card goal is mostly enhance performance and add stability to the whole rig.  My old Asus P5K had a built in WiFi that I never managed to run correctly. Not that I wanted to connect wirelessly, but sometimes it would have come in handy for me (I used to move quite a lot because of my work :/, and might have to once again in a year or two). Again, I happened to get some crash on some games because of sound issues, thus my decision to try the dedicated sound card

- I am not really wanting to wait more and I will see on Saturday to keep on talking with the computer shop guys for my new rig ^^ and usually I prefer to wait for feedback and tests and so on before to buy brand new material. On the other hand, it could be a good idea to think about the future and the adaptability ot the MB for the next generation of graphic card.

- @ smidlee : Awesome site, lots of good ideas. o7

- Any advice/feedback about the SSD ?
