I need help picking out a mother board and a CPU (Quad core, Intel)

These are the components for the computer I have so far. The budget is $1,800 and not a cent over. Not including tax or shipping cost.

HD: $265 * 2 = $530

Power Supply: $110

Cooler for Graphics: $35 * 2= $70
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106112

Graphics: $150 * 2= $300
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130325

CD Drive: $22 * 2= $44
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106228

^(Winning so far)

So far I am at $1310. That leaves roughly 500 dollars.

Mother Board?
Cpu?
Sound card?

Possible motherboard?

And I am also open to other suggestions as far as the tower goes. Needs to be BIG and LOTS of circulation and look awesome.

So please suggest to me a good CPU *Quad core* and a good motherboard with awesome overclocking settings.And if possible, a sound card. And the reason why you chose to suggest that one to me.

So far:

600 Gigabites in Raid (0) mode running at 10,000RPM each
750 Watts Of power
8 Gigs of RAM (Sli)
8800GTS (2) in Sli

This OEM Q6600 is availiable for a combo deal with your power supply. You'll be voiding it while OCing, so I'm sure it doesn't matter. Warrenty, that is,

I suggest a change to your GPU. Check it.

I like this motherboard.

I reccomend heatsinks that are like this Tuniq Tower 120. Make sure your case has room.

Cheetah reccomends this VGA Cooler alot, might want to take a look at it.

I like the antec 900 for air cooling.

Okay, quick questions.

Why did you recommend that graphics card?
I don't know too much about graphics card. Although they both seem about the same. But I'd rather have the one I chose.

As far as the CPU goes, I'm only saving 30 dollars with the combo deal. Its not a bad CPU, but its not good either. I want one that has 6MB Cache. Not 4. So can you please recommend me one?

GPU:
800 Streaming processors compared to 128.
Higher Memory clock. ATi HD 4850/4870 are THE GPUs to get right now. AFAMKIC, I know nothing of architectures. I just compare numbers.

Also, CPU is 2x4MB L2Cache. 6MB ones are only 1x6MB. Again, I don't know much about architecture and how shit really works. I only compare numbers.

I was reading Toms Hardware and I read that 6MB cache is better than four. I forgot what it actually said, but that definitely is the case. So mind helping me out Blank?

Also, does my motherboard (The one you chose) support Crossfire? You know, for the video cards.

Would this cooler serve me with the graphics card you told me?

If not, can you recommend me some really good ones for the GPU you told me.

just a quick question, why the fuck spend so much on the HDD?
if i were you and you insist on having a raptor i would put the OS and things you will use alot on the raptor and buy a regular 7200rpm hdd for the rest

Another human · Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 4:38 pm Post subject:

Why do I insist?

Because I've always wanted one. Not to mention that I want to put it in raid (0) mode.

And honestly, can you say "Hey, I have TWO (a) Raptors in Raid mode!". I think not. Yes, it is also about bragging rights.

Sup3R C3r34L · Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 4:44 pm Post subject:

nah i can't say that i do, nor that i need to but...
protip: that money would be better spent elsewhere for performance gain

NeverForgotten · Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 4:56 pm Post subject:

8 GB ram overkill dont you think?

Another human · Posted: Mon Sep 15, 2008 5:06 pm Post subject:

Somewhat. But for 50 bucks, its nothing.

Super: Where do you think I can spend it to get better performance?
