[therealbub]

So I am building this gaming rig, and i have my parts in my wish list. I basically have my parts that i want i just need to see whether they are compatible. So here are the parts:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811129021
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813128059
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814150252
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817341001
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115017
RAM(x2): http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820148076

Yeah it should all work....
Couple suggestions
1) Save some cash and get the regular ballistix
2) If online gaming I do not suggest wireless, it'll lag like crazy

 

[therealbub]

im getting the wireless card because i have to use wireless at my moms house. can you link me the normal ballistix ram?

It's the exact same except the annoying little LEDs

swap this mobo for the one above:

still compatible?

and i have the normal ballistix ram, with no lights

You don't really need to swap the motherboard. The DS3L is perfectly fine, but if you want to change it go, ahead

In fact if you are going to overclock the Q6600 I suggest you get the ASUS P5K-E motherboard instead. People are getting great Q6600 overclocks on it

Edit: Use this one for your PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341002
It's $5 more and has 100 more watts (still overkill but hey, you got another 100 watts)

 

[therealbub]

ok, i swapped out the power supply, now which motherboard should i use?

or

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131196


and what is the difference between the two anyways?

 

[cruiseoveride]

the 2nd one comes with a asus proprietary wifi card

 

[Silverion77]

Yeah. The second has built in wifi

Also their cooling is a little different
The second has a heatpipe and the first has a mosfet cooler on the way top

Either will do

Not to hijack the thread but what problems are the DS3Ls having in OCing a Q6600? I heard they were pretty good.

 

[Silverion77]

There are no problems, P5K-E is better because of more voltage regulators (more stability)
