Trying to get a good gaming rig without going totaly over the top (well the 8800 might be a little but is DX10 right?).
need a good recomendation for a m/b that will support the following.
a E6600 cpu for now, but the m/b must support quad's so I can upgrade next year.
allow a single 8800GTX to work a optimal performance.
4Gb of 1066 memory (4 x 1Gb)
X-Fi extreame music card (without getting the pop pop /crackling sounds)
3 x 300Gb SATA II harddisks (1 for system, 1 for games, 1 for applications), no raid needed.
1 x dvd r/w
1 firewire port, for my sony camcorder and 4+ USB2 ports.
I dont need anymore than that from my m/b
your expert help as allways highly appriciated
