Hello, I Need advice on building a comp based on a core 2 extreme x6800. I pulled an engineering sample processor out of a shuttle PC that died, and want to build a new gaming comp that will use it. I don't know much about LGA775 slots or what the best Northbridge chipset is, but I would like to run a modern video card PCIe2.0x16 and DDR3 if possible, so please help me find a suitable mobo to build from. I would prefer a full size mobo that has all the bells and whistles on it so that I can make the best of that old processor while playing games like MW3 and BF3. Thanx
