Here is what i am getting so far

Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA2 32MB 7200RPM

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz Socket LGA775, 8MB, BOXED w/fan

Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2, 4096MB CL5, Kit w/two matched CM2X2048-6400 Dimm's

XFX GeForce 8800GTX 768Mb dog

I still have a case, optical, floppy drive, 250gb sata and psu from a previous build a few years ago.
So i will integrate those into my build, my question is, do you think these parts listed above are compatible
with each other? I cant seem to settle on a mainboard, dont want to spend too much on that but i want one that
would last, dont care if its upgradable in the future or if its sli, happy enough with the g-card im getting.
Can anyone recommend a mainboard?

Thanks

dont be ridiculas, get a 9800gtx, or 4850 over that.

grab a p5k for a mobo...well i think my question should be, are u overclocking?

Personally i would not get corsair ram, as i have had a few sets and they sucked, i would grab 4 gb crucial tracers (not the normal ballistix ones because they are now one sided and do not over clok very well.)

What psu do u have? (not the wattage, either tell me the amps on the 12v rail(s) or the name of the psu (model also)

no interest in overclocking, might i add i do have a budget i would like to stick too, so i will not be waisting money on a 9800gtx

^9800gtx is cheaper the the 8800gtx and is better. PSU?

They are roughly around the same price atm becuase the new Nvidia 260GTX and 280GTX are out so 9 series is no longer the flag ship card for Nvidia
