    SLi or non SLi?
    Will you be overclocking or not?
    Is money a concern or not?
    Do you have a pci-e graphics card or not?

    Answer those & we'll be able to help.

    Well done on choosing komplett by the way, they're one of the better shops in the UK.

    Sli is the ability to run two nvidia pci-e sli enabled graphics cards on one board. In certain circumstances giving you upto twice the graphics power. They basically split the work between them.

    If you get a s939 NForce4 board, as it's probably the best chipset right now, it will have a pci-e slot rather than an agp slot therefore you will have to buy a new graphics card when you upgrade. Either that or settle for an NF3 chipset board.
