I'd like some suggestions for a mobo and 8GB of ram that will work well with the kit below.
I am unsure which memory is working well with which mobo's.
Which ram for OCing and which for std speed.

Running Vista 64 as you would expect with 8GB.


C2D 6850
XFX 8800GTX
Corsair TX650
EMU 0404
 
Id recommend the Asus P5Q series motherboards, theyre P45 chipset so will do well with that set up, your other option would be to go for an nvidia 7 series if you were thinking of maybe buying another gfx card for an SLI set up later, but tbh i wouldnt bother.
RAM wise just get any main manufacturer brand (OCZ/Corsair/GSkill) and get the PC8500, the price of RAM at moment you may as well get the best, you can pick up 8gig for £120 - some people say Asus boards dont like OCZ but I use both and have no problems, so long as you go with decent brand you should be ok
