Hello! Star Wars FTW. Also, join the MAW group. Please?

NVIDIA nForce 550 Chipset is a motherboard, not a graphics card, don't worry.

Oh, and for buying computer parts newegg.com for the win.

WARNING! INCORRECT USING THIS FEATURES MAY CAUSE YOUR SYSTEM BROKEN!

i just got my new PC for £250
With a nVidia GeForce 8400GS graphixs card
And a core 2 duo processor
you really need to get that to run any good games. with a GeForce 8400GS you will wonder how you lived without it and the speed of a core 2 duu is amazing. I've heard that the intel Quad core isn't musch better than an intel core 2 duo so save money and get a core 2 duo.
my graphics card was only £25! try buying from ash-distribution if you live in the north east of england. I'm not sure if they would post the parts to you but you could take a look.
P.S. please don't have a go at me if you can't see any prices coz they won't be there until you make an account just have a look at some of the stuff you might need.

ATI, and Nvidea make gpus, yes. And they both make mobos. The chipset is what you need to know for what gpus are capable of going into the mobo, along with the input type. (I.E. PCI-e, PCI, AGP, etc...)
