This is my first post at this forum though I spend a lot of time on Tom's hardware. Like many other I am building a new pc and looking for a little bit of advice.
Right now I have:
Sunbeam Silent Storm IC-SS-SVBK Black/Silver Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
ZOTAC ZT-88SES2P-FSP GeForce 8800GTS (G92) 512MB(couldn't pass up the $115 price I got it for)
Antec TPQ-850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Currently focusing on:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
MASSCOOL 8WA741 92mm Ball CPU Cooler
2gb of ram most likely ddr2 800 to overclock but might just buy 1066.
The motherboard is where I am having the most trouble. The motherboard must be-able to SLI, good overclocker, hopefully good bios, at least dd2 800, at least 1066FSB but wouldn't mind 1333, must be socket 775 . As much as I like the xfx motherboards I feel that I can get better bang for the buck.
Currently I am looking at:
ASUS P5K EPU LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard
Let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas. Any help is greatly appreciated.
