Hi all,

I'm looking to get an E2180 and to overclock to some reasonable speed.

Which would be the best motherboard to get between the
Abit IP35 and Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3

I will be running 2GB ram, 2 250Gb in Raid and 1 500Gb.

Also looking to throw in a 8800GT or GTS. What's the main advantage over the other?

Any advivce greatly apreciated.

ip35-e or ip35 if you can streach

the ip35-e is not a good ocing board compared to the ip35 or ip35 pro

for which GPU to pick you really have to tell us what res you game at and what games you play because they will determine if either choice is sutible for you
 
ip35 all the way

and get a good cooler to OC the nuts off that chip =D arctic freezer 7 pro, or a tuniq tower, depending on how much space you have.

and the GTS is almost as good as the GTX, so if you have the money it's worth getting, that is if you do things where you need the added performance.

also, welcome to the forums ;)
 
I was kind of leaning towards the IP35, so looks like Santa will have to bring one of those for me :)

I'm on a overall budget, and for the GPU this is around the £200 mark (rather not go over if possible)

I have a 22" monitor with a native resolution of 1680x1050 which will be part of the new system.

I was looking at the something like the Zalman Aero Flower for cooling.

Gaming wise, this build is for crysis, ut3 and cod4 which should be arriving tomorrow all being well.
