could you please tell me if everything is compatable with eachother.

(i didnt have a clue when choosing this, i need an sli motherboard that is compatible with everything els listed at around £70-100)



CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

I already have a graphics card (8800GT OC) and case, so i dont need them. but i would appriciate any advice on upgrades as i am kinda noob at this atm lol

thanks:cool:

;)
 
ok thanks for the help. :)

I know u said that SLI boards are not good for overclicking the Q6600, but could you please help me find the best board for the job at around £150

Im not lazy i just dont know what im looking for;)

The reason i want an sli MB is to get a seconds 8800GT and be able to play new games like crysis on high settings and high resolution.

As i have reconsidered, here is another list:



HARD DRIVE - Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 400GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (0A33439)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-031-HI




PSU - Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU (CMPSU-520HXUK)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-005-CS

(should i get the 620w for running 2 cards?)




RAM - Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-108-CS




CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-161-IN



Thanks again:)
 
Yes i know its crossfire, i did say i didnt have a clue when choosing the motherboard as its my first build.

My recent post says that i need to find an sli motherboard that is good for overclocking the Q6600, and i need help doing so.
