hi there
I am currently running a Q6600 on a P5n-e mobo, however, having read various posts regarding how limiting this board is I was looking to upgrade?

Hence the question, I am also looking to upgrade my Graphics, but looking for MOBO first.

Any suggestions please ?

current system:
Quad Q6600
P5n-3 SLI (nneds upgrading)
2x1GB SLI Nvidia 8500 (needs upgrading)
Arctic cooler 7
4 gb DDR2
600w power supply (needs upgrading)

Thanks for that T. the delux version that you own, did you have any problems installing or finding RAM for this board?

Thanks

well the 600w psu i have is a standard power supply , its fan makes a lot of noise and the voltages seem to be fluctuating a little, hence the need to get a more stable/quiet psu!

was looking at the bequiet 650w modular. looks like it can do the business!
