Hi

Upgrading my gfx card to a 260GTX so think its time for the mobo to get upgraded too. My current setup is:

Windows XP
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 motherboard
E6600 @ stock (:eek:)
8800GT
2Gb Geil 6400 Ultra RAM
X-Fi fatal1ty FPS

I need a board with:
PCIe 2.0
6+ SATA ports
1 IDE port
3 PCI slots

I also want one that will let me easily clock the E6600 to within an inch of its life (on air) and one that'll suit a nice Q9*** at some point in the future.

I have no idea about the new chipsets, whats generally considered the best?

Thanks in advance
 
chipset p43 or p45 is ideal for you, unless you got plans for 2xGTX260 in SLi, in that case nforce 7 series then
 
Get an Asys P5Q Deluxe, i have it and its an awesome mobo, will take the e6600 no probs at all and is awesome for overclocking too.
