EVGA Nforce 680I SLI LGA775 Conroe ATX 2PCI-E16 Motherboard
Apparently this motherboard has issues with quad-cores, which is fine since I'm not planning on buying a quad-core. All I need to know is that this board will run without issues with the CPU and RAM that I have chosen and has good potential for overclocking. It's $120 CDN, so unless you can find me an equivalent deal for another board, I think I'm going with this.
Intel Pentium Dual Core E2140 Dual Core Processor LGA775 1.6GHZ 800FSB 1MB Retail
Cheapest. If I can get into the high 2Ghz range, I won't complain, but I've heard this has potential to hit 3Ghz. With the board I mentioned and the RAM, it seems very possible, unless you guys disagree. If so, please let me know.
OCZ Gold XTC PC2-6400 2GB 2X1GB DDR2-800 CL5-5-5-12 240PIN DIMM Dual Channel Memory Kit
Cheapest 2GB kit I could find in Canada, even without the rebate. o_o It should be fine for the overclocking that I wish to do, am I right?
BFG GeForce 8600GT OC 565MHZ 256MB 1.4GHZ GDDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDTV Out HDCP DIRECTX10 Video Card
$100. Can't complain. It's the best I'll get for what I can afford right now. HD video decoding is a nice bonus.
All I want to know is if everything will play together nicely and whether you think I have a good chance of madly overclocking this thing. Thanks.
