hi im trying to build a system for running a lot of applications at the same time like dreamweaver, photoshop, a lot of web pages and playing videos. the only game i will be running on it is warcraft 3

my question is if i have a q6600 will a motherboard like "EVGA 113-YW-E115-TR" with "NVIDIA GeForce 9300" chipset good enough? or i should get a better motherboard with a crappy video card

question 2: what is the hybird sli good for? is it worth going for? or is normal sli more worth it?

my board said "Memory Standard DDR2 800" is there any way you can oc it or something to make it take 1066?? and im not playing WoW just classic warcraft 3
 
You could probably make it work with DDR2-1066, but there's no reason to. For older Intel CPUs with a FSB, DDR2-800 is fast enough.

Also, as stated above, I'd go for a SATA DVD drive and a good PSU (such as Corsair).
