Here is a link to the motherboard I want
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicat [...] =A455-1091

 

I'm going to put a E6600 into it.

 

The thing I was wondering was: Is this a good motherboard? Does it have 16X PCI express? I couldn't find it on the site anywhere. It looks like it has all the features I want. I just dont know if it is 16x PCI express

 

I will be using it for gaming. I'll be putting a 8800gtx into it.

Yes, it's fine. However, the smartest thing is to get a P35-based motherboard. Look at GA-P35-DS3R or the Asus P5K models.

If you haven't bought the E6600 yet, I'd get a E6750 or Q6600 instead.

Too bad it isn't cheaper. The Gigabyte P35 DS3R is $130 at newegg. Get anE6750 $220 newegg. Yes, it is 16x.

If only. Canada gets the shaft in everything. Our dollar is 5 since less then yours. Still the prices are so much cheaper for you guys. It would cost me 300+ to get P35-based motherboard or Asus P5K

Yes it is 16x.

NCIX has better prices, and so some local shops in my city.
