Heya All, Looking into building myself a Ultimate Extreme Rig.
First of all, I'm going to have a Q9550 Processor. Going to Overclock it.
Maybe a GTX 260, but if I have money left over, I will definitely buy the GTX 280. In the near future, probably 3-5 months, I will buy another GPU, so which means I need a MOBO that supports SLI.
I'm going to start with 4gb ddr2 Kingston, but if I have money, will move up to a 4gb ddr2 G-skill. Will add another 4gb in Near future.
So my question is, I need a MOBO that supports the above 3, SLI Ready and is capable of OverClocking and is one of the best. Will be spending under $400 for the MOBO. My budget is $2500.
Are you aware that the entire platform (s775) will be non upgradeable? Yes, you will never be able to upgrade it, its a throwaway system.
If your going to build new, go for an i7 or AM3 Phenom 2. DDR3 is the new poo.
You should never have to spend more than $200 for a mobo unless you just like spending money. I mean you want to spend $400 on a mobo (a non upgradable one at that)
Dont get a GTX280, they have been replaced by the GTX285 and you wont be able to find a 280 later.
Dont cheap out on ram, get something like Corsair, OCZ, Patriot or G-skill.
