Hi all, could do with a bit of advice as I'm new to building a pc. Have a Dell Dimension 4600 atm (pls don't laugh, its my first pc). I'm currently favouring the Antec p180 for the case, unless you have a better option. The main question I'm debating though, is the mobo. I'm thinking along the lines of
Core 2 duo e6600 (for the 4mb cache)
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2
8800GTX x2 in SLi
I already have a Netgear WG311T wireless network adapter, and will try the onboard sound before I buy an x-fi card.
So I need a mobo that will support 2 8800GTX's if possible with true 16x PCI-e slots, that also has at least another 2 pci slots available for my network card and possible future purchase of a sound card. As well as the possibility of space for a physics card at a later date if it ever takes off. I would like to have the options to overclock as my knowledge increases. Am I in cloud cuckoo land or is this possible ?
Oh, and was thinking of getting 2x 150GB WD raptors in RAID, which is why I wanted a nice quiet case.
I kinda had my eye on a EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR NF680i SLI, S775 ,but since then a friend told me it had been slated in some forums he subscribes to, and also wondered if all the bits would fit, considering the size of the 8800's. I may be way off the mark but any advice would be appreciated.
