I know very little about gamer type systems.
I need to build a computer around the ASI Sapphire Radeon X850 XT
DVI/CRT/TV-out PCI Express video board.
I need to know what specific motherboards support this with no conflicts
like on-board video.
Are there such boards that support the standard IDE drives (CD, DVD,
HD)?
Please be kind to give eXplicit recommendations.

I used anandtech with the search terms ASUS and NVIDIA and came up with
two motherboards:
1) Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe: NVIDIA Dual x 16 for the Athlon 64; the review
seemed a little washy, and it was not clear if it supports 4 IDE devices.
2) Asus A8N-VM CSM: NVIDIA GeForce 6150 (Athlon 64 or Sempron); not much
of a review, but the specs and other info seem to indicate that this board
is better.

And if this second board is better, which CPU: Athlon 64 or Sempron?
What kind of memory?

the fastest mobo, the fastest cpu, preferably amd, and SATA with 16mb cache,
the fastest memory and the fastest graphics card, now what you buy is up to
you and down to the budget you have, if you got alot of money, then the
world is your oyster in the pc world
