I'm making a new computer and need advice on which mobo to get...I may upgrade to sli in the future and would like to be able to OC the graphics card, cpu and ram. I'm getting an intel quad core 6600, 8800gt 512mb, G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) , Thermaltake Purepower RX W0143RU ATX12V / EPS12V 550W Power Supply 115/230 V, ASUS Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E616A3T OEM - OEM, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM....thanks in advance
 
You want to get a P35 or X38 chipset, don't get a Sli motherboard unless you will use it right away. P35 and X38 are compatible with Crossfire... Err, good choices include the Gigabyte GA-P35-XXXX or Abit IP-35 XXX for P35. I'm not sure about X38, but I don't think they offer too much more performance compared to P35.

It might help narrow the choices down if we knew your budget.

Off topic, please use the enter key in your next post, that paragraph is a bit hard to read.
 
k thanks...right now i'm at $850, i'm looking to spend under $150 for the mobo. Sorry about the paragraph being difficult to read
