As it stands :

E6750 CPU
8800GTS 512
2 gb memory
320 hardisk
Enermax liberty 620w

A bad motherboard. AS i live in the uk things r pretty expensive in here, i am goin to the USA on xmas. So other than newegg, are there any good website's to get stuff from?

So my priority goes to a new motherboard. Which one you think is suitable? ddr2 or ddr3? I i would also like a new CPU. Should i just go for a q6660 and overclock it my self, and by a cooler for it?

And the graphic card, shall i sell mine and buy a 4870X2? Or 280? OR shall i just a second 8800gts nd SLI them?

thanks

your budget is £300 for just the motherboard?

seems most people like newegg.com. I take it you want an american site? If you want one in the uk i use www.overclockers.co.uk

motherboard: Probably go with ddr2 for now, ddr3 is 3x the price and performance is only slightly better...unless your an EXTREME overclocker
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DQ6,
Asus P5Q

CPU: Yea get the q6600 and overclock. It cheaper and a lot more fun!!!

GPU: If you want bang for buck go with an ATI card. It all depends on the games you play. For example, crysis, Nvidia will win, Grip, ATI will win! The 4870x2 is no dought the fastest card to date, but that is reflected in the price. If thats not a problem for you i would go with that, otherwise get the 280 or the 4870

£300(400 MAX!) for the whole lot. So a 4870x2 is going to be to expensive.

I think i'll opt for the 4870?

Yep i know of overclockers they are good, but am better of buying in the USA.

Do these 2 mobo support crossfire? I want a good mobo for around 150 - 200 dollars.
