Hey Anandtech Forum,
I'm a brand new enthusiast and new to forums. Figured the best way to learn a great deal about computers and overclocking is to read about others experiences. I'm getting ready to build my first rig. I'm planning on getting a C2D E6600, some decent DDR2-800 value RAM, a DX10 video card when they come out (not going to run SLI or CF), a Scythe Infinity CPU Cooler, 2 Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 80GB HDDs, and picking up a couple of Yate-Loon 120mm case fans. I have a 450W FSG PSU, Antec P180b Case, SB Audigy 2 ZS Sound Card, and 2 optical drives (1 BenQ DW1625, 1 Hitachi DVD-ROM). Can anyone recommend a MB to use for this setup? I've been looking at Asus P5W Deluxe, Asus P5B DH, and Abit AW9D-MAX. Feel free to critique my setup as you see fit, all help is appreciated!
