Anyway I was always of the understanding that if you run a AMD mobo and cpu that you could not run a NVidia graphics card together cause things didn't like talking to each other. Is this correct or have i been getting it wrong all these years.

And if that is the case and I can run a NVidia graphics card what would be my best value for money got about $700.00 to play with (got a good mobo/cpu setup with heaps of RAM so no worries there), would like to run P3D as the main sim slowly migrating stuff over from FSX.

Tell you the truth Ian, I honestly don't know , all my PCs have been Intel.

It's not that they don't like talking to each other, but if you are running an AMD GPU processor you can get better performance pairing that with certain AMD graphics cards because they pair up and work together, which can't happen if you run an NVidia card. They will both still work tho, just not in the same way and you can lose the pairing boosts

I have always run an AMD MB with a Nvidia graphics card and have never had any problems with the setup

At present I am running a SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 (Socket 942) MB with an AMD FX-8350 4000 MHz a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 and 24 GB Ram
The only improvement I could make would be to up the Ram a bit more as with 24GB I get very close to running out when doing photo scenery for FSX
