Hey I have a illegal version of office now, but it keeps getting screwed due to updates. So I figured, F-it buy the legal, it comes with 3 licenses. I have two pc's in my house and my brother could use it too.

Also, MS Office is entirely necessary? Ever tried something like OpenOffice? That would save you big bucks.

Also, OK if you want to keep the motherboard, but you could go to a lesser video card right now and still have open doors for something better (because the motherboard) 

 dont update it or find a better copy. My copy is perfect/never updates though. 

 I was originally going to wait for SP2, however, I been doing some reading on the 64bit version and I really need a pc now. I don't want to buy XP now and then buy Vista agian later in 1.5 years when SP2 is out.

 actaully Google's office programs are even better then OO and Office combined imho. Just have to register an account on google. Not hard to do. 

 Does OpenOffice work seamlessly with MS word stuff?

 yes it does

Actually here is a review for motherboards you should consider
