P5N32-E SLI help? First-timer(noob)

[Masterdlj0721]

Hey everyone! I'm trying to build my own computer for the first time and I wanted to use the P5N32-E SLI 680i Mobo. My main use for this computer will be gaming. I've read plenty of good reviews for this Mobo, and I've also read some reviews that have me skeptical.

Will be running:
e6750 cpu
Vista ultimate 64bit OS
Haven't decided on GPU(will be using 1 card but, will probably use 2 later on)
OCZ GameXStream 700-Watt PSU

When it comes to RAM I don't know what to choose due to so many threads with people having problems with their memory when it comes to this Mobo. I would appreciate guidance when it comes to memory for this mobo due to all the mishaps that everyone else has gone through. I also do plan on OCing but, not right away since I don't know how to yet but would be interested in doing so.

I need all the help possible. Feel free to give advice, guidance, knowledge and criticism. Open to any replies.

If your using Vista 64 bit you want 4G of 800 memory. When you first install Vista on that motherboard only have two G plugged in and install the other two after its up and running.

I would think about the new CPU's with 1600FSB, The Cheap 2gig kit will overclock like mad. It has D9's.

Thank you both for the information. Xtra thanx to joe for the memory kits.

What CPUs have 1600fsb or were you referring to 1600fsb M/Bs?
