Alright well I would like to first introduce myself to everyone, Since this is my first post on this great forum
My name is Gregory I'm 23 years old and i'm in the military [Just got back for the holidays, thank god! ]
Well anyway here is my issue
Recently i picked up a computer from a friend of mine
Which has the Ip-95 board
Currently it has [excuse if i type anything wrong, since im not really computer savvy]
A intel duo-core 3.0ghz processor
Abit-IP95 [of course]
2gigs of ram
PCI-e X16
500gb hard drive [i think its sata or something like that]
and a geforce 8400gs 256mb video card
I plan on upgrading to 4gigs of ram and a better video card
[9800gt,9600gt,etc] Since i have alot of time on my hands i would like to play some good games such as Call of duty 4, Unreal tournament 3, and maybe crysis
Im not using a crazy resolution it's set right now on 1024x 768 on a 21inch
monitor
I spoke to some guy and he suggested I would get these 2 things
But im not sure if it'll be compatible or not since he never wrote back to me again
Here are the links/parts that was suggested to me, Tell me what you think

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500059
I saw soo many versions of the 9800gt[xfx,zotac,evga,etc] which made me really confused
Any light on these 2 issues would be great
Thanks in advance to everyone that posted and read this thread
Happy holidays!
