If it somehow goes over your budget, get rid of the sound card. Most on-board audio are very good and can go toe to toe with the best sound cards out there in terms of audio quality.

8800 320/640 perform the same.. so is there any resason to get the 640 version?

I only have a 19 inch monitor. So the more I think about it the 320 sounds like a smarter choice.

big difference, the games comin out will need the 640MB frame buffer.

Im gonna wait for some bench marks for bioshock and stranglehold. If they, once again, perform the same at my res. Im just gonna save me the 100 bucks.

Here you go, have fun wit this. Compare different videocards:
