Hi,

Im going to be buying the following:

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC2-6400 (x2)
2 x ati 3870

What I have no idea about is the following:

1. Cooling for the CPU
2. A power supply
3. A motherboard

Can anyone offer me some advice on what to buy?

Much appreciated :)

Thanks mate :)

Money isnt really a problem, not going to be upgrading for a while after this so looking for whatever is best but not ridiculously expensive for the sake of it.

Do motherboards support xfire/sli now? not upgraded for ages so bit unsure. Is that pretty much the best board to get then, noticed it being recommended a fair bit.

That cooler, do I need to buy a fan for it?
 
yeh I want to go with ATI xfire. 2 of the 3750s. got a 24" monitor so game at 1920x1200.

what board should I look at for that?
 
hmm, they appear to be a fair bit more expensive the 8800gt for not much more performance from what ive seen.

anyone else know if you can run xfire with an intel cpu?
