With the release of the new DX11 cards utilising PCI-E 2.0 fully, and my plans to upgrade to one of them, I'd like to know, quite simply, what's the cheapest/best on a budget PCI-E 2.0 motherboard.

My rig is below, its for a Q6600 (Which I may try overclock, if it would limit the new cards).

I honestly don't know what is the right choice, because I've been out of the motherboard/chipset loop for some time. All I've figured is that it would need to be an Intel x4x chipset at the least... I think?


Thanks guys. Reading over this post, it sounds really stupid, but I'm curious to know.
 
I would look for a 2nd hand P5Q series. only 8x for crossfire but you would be severely CPU limited by your Q6600 with 2 5870s or something.

With the new mobo you should get a 2x2GB ramkit and new PSU and clock your Q6600 to 3.4+ghz
