Matching CPU, MOBO, and Galaxy Nvidia 260GTX+

[johnaa111]

Hi,

I Am in need of a little help. I have a Corsair 650 Watt (SLI capable)power supply, a Galaxy Nvidia 260GTX . With that said, I want to purchase a core i920 and need to understand what MOBO to get that will work best with the combo. If I go SLI it wil be 2 260 at most. Thanks ahead of time.

Not enough info. What's your budget for the mobo?

If money is no object:

ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail :$289.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131365&cm_re=p6t-_-13-131-365-_-Product

or this:

EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $299.99

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188039&cm_re=evga_x58-_-13-188-039-_-Product

EVGA has the best customer support and warranty. They do cross-ship for USA if your mobo is defective, but do deal with newegg during the first 30 days.

What is the best processor for all around great performance (I think the Intel Core i7-920)
What motherboard would be best suited for this type system (will use it for every day computing, bills, email etc.)



Here is my virtual build any help would be appreciated:


Core i7-920

Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case or NZXT CS-NT-PANZER-B PANZERBOX Black Welded Aluminum ATX Mid Tower or COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel

Rosewill Xtreme Series RX950-D-B 950W or CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W

MSI X58 Eclipse SLI LGA 1366 Intel X58 or ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 or GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD5 LGA 1366 Intel X58

Memory I am unsure of

I have a Galaxy 260GTX+ OC but I was thinking of going with a better card x2

I also have a brand new CORSAIR CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V

I realize I kind of unloaded hear but I have read so much I have sleep deprivation. I am suffering from data overload syndrome – HELP!
