Need a MB for my q6600 Quad Core

lemonyx · 08-04-2008, 02:17 PM

Helping a friend build a new gaming PC and he wanted to use the Intel Quad-Core e6600. He wants a MB with dual SLI but will just get one video card for now (till he saves up for another 8800 GTS DDR3).

Anyone know of a MB for this CPU?

So far on the list:

Cooler Master Centurion 5
Cooler Master eXtreme Pwr 500
Intel Quad Core q6600 (no OC)
4gb Crucial Ballistic DR2
eVGA 8800GTS ddr3
SG Barracuda SATA 250gb hd
ASUS Blk DVD-R w/LightScribe
OS Vista Home

Any ideas or ??

What is the budget for the Mobo?

For the time being i recommend this mobo it's slighty on the expensive side but it comes with a sound blaster XFi extreme sound card

:

MSI P7N Diamond nForce 780i SLi (Socket 775)

Sorry, forgot to list that, but you are right on the money with that link, it's $200.00

Thanks for that link

What would have been you next choice for little less $$ ??
