I recently ordered my intel QX6850, i believe its part of the p35 chipset family, but am not sure how it will work on the x38 and x48 motherboards.
Anyways, I am looking to build it with the QX6850, I already have my case Antec 900(so space shouldnt be an issue), and am set on purchasing the ATI 4870 or the 4870x2(leaning towards the 4870 though) which are PCI-Express 2.0. I am not stuck on whats the latest and greatest, so im not really impressed with ddr3. I will probably overclock this beast. Since its been 5 years since i built a comp I am clueless to which motherboard would be best.
My question to anyone who can answer or has created a similar build is:
What would be the best motherboard for a INTEL QX6850, ATI 4870(X2 maybe ),DDR2/3 (if required), Antec 900 case, 720gb seagate barracuda HDD????
I really want something that is gonna be like under the $250/$275 price range.
It would really help me out a lot because like i said i haven't built a comp since 2003
Thanks ^^
