Anyone know of a decent mobo that will go perfectly with a Intel E6700 and a Nvidia 8800GTX also a decent CPU Cooler I hate those crappy intel stock ones.

Are you going to OC and will you want SLI cards?  If your not going with SLI, then the Gigabyte GS 965P DS3 mb is very good.  As for a cpu cooler I like Zalman, Tuniq and Arctic Cooling Freezer 7Pro.

8800GTX is the best right now.

If you are not picky about OCing, then just get a good mid-level board that allows to OC, but isnt chalked full of features that raises the price.

I personally have the P5N-E SLI, and if you dont buy Corsair memory, you shouldnt have too many problems, but I am replacing it with the MSI P6N Platinum which I think is a much better board and has rock solid stock performance and no compatibility issues with my high performance Corsair.

Just get any board with the P960 chipset, the Gigabyte model that is around $150 is really good.

Alright, Cheers I'll look into it, Yeh I know the 8800GTX is far better than the 2900XT (as that only like thr ATi verson of the GTS) but I was wondering anyone know when the 2900XTX is out? and what price would it most likely be?
