BEFORE I BEGING, I LIVE IN CANADA; I CANT BUY OFF NEWEGG 
So keep that in mind. Much love.
Hey all
Good to be here. Not exactly a new member; have been using AT for my reviewing needs for years.
Ok so I'm in the exciting midst of building my very first pc!
I have the following:
500gb western digital 16mb sata 2 hd
http://www.canadacomputers.com...d&pid=010671&cid=HD.96
2x 1gig sticks of ocz xtc gold pc6400
http://www.canadacomputers.com...pid=011680&cid=RAM.835
18x lg dvd dual layer (sata)
http://www.canadacomputers.com...&pid=013996&cid=CR.184
Q6600 (ordered this earlier today, hoping I get the go stepping)
http://www.ncix.com/products/i...ure=Intel&promoid=1042
ok so thats what I have.
I will also be getting:
ONE 8800gtx 768mb. I have no intentions of doing SLI (keep this in mind for the questions to come)
Ultra Grid case with 700w ultra xvs modular power supply (110 bucks its a steal, and I love the case)
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/appl...pNo=2448862&CatId=1846
I've also decided to get this LCD display:
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/appl...pNo=2945470&CatId=1410
Now my questions:
I'm looking for a mobo that has solid overclocking capabilities, and is in the price range of
150-200 ish (canadian, albeit thats close to USD)
I'm torn between 680i and the p35's, and a bunch of other misc crap.
I want something solid that will perform well with the components listed above.
I also want to get ONE after market cooling fan thats reasonably priced. Suggestions please.
Final question: I need to find a 8800gtx for cheap. Any suggestions at all are welcome.
so to recap:
mobo? fan? vid card?
So keep that in mind. Much love.
