P67 chipset motherboard for overclocking - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-167-MS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1906

drop the sound card, its not needed.

If you want to overclock the processor you need a P67 motherboard not the H67 you've chosen.

No real need for a sound card but if you're getting one get an Asus one.

cheers, I am looking to run 3 monitors off it, two are DVI and the other I have not bought yet! Is this possible? back in the day I had to run two graphics cards, is that still needed?

You all are really helpful!

Think you need a display port monitor, the card has a DVI, HDMI and a mini display port adapter.

Crommmmmmmmmmmmm!

Crommmmmmmmmmmmm!

Lol xD

 

[dubleon]

Cheers for the displayport monitor advice- I guess I need a new monitor with a displayport output, use one DVI, and pick up a DVI to HDMI adaptor!

 

[dubleon]

Would 4gb of ram be ok for photoshop use?

 

[dubleon]

also wondering if the Samsung B2230H is any good?
