    Is the radeon 4770 going to be added for the barebones build?

    Re: Going to build a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

    I have a few questions.

    What's the difference performance wise of a pciex16 vs a pciex16x2 / 2.0

    Would the effects be that detrimental if I were to place a pcie2.0 video card in a x16 slot?

    Also, what's the performance differences when putting an AM2+ socket CPU into an AM2 board? Will the performance hit be drastic?

    Depends on the card. Mid-range ones aren't going to be able to saturate a PCI-e 16x, but the higher end ones will be bottlenecked a bit by it.

    With AM2+ in an AM2 socket, you basically cut the Hyper Transport down from 3600MHz to 2000MHz.

    I'm thinking of getting another motherboard. Could anybody suggest something rock solid that would be nForce?

    Intel or AMD?
    If your going for intel, i would suggest the Asus P5N32-SLI Premium.

    How do you determine whether or not your CPU or Graphics card would be bottlenecked by the other?

    If one is high-performance and the other isn't, chances are the high-performance part is being bottlenecked.

    ...What region of the component (CPU/GPU) would bottleneck??

    They are two separate components? I'm not sure what you are asking. As far as I know GPU won't have any impact on CPU speed, but the CPU has a massive effect on the GPU if it isn't powerful enough.
