Need help with motherboard

Okay so I am getting

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130319 - GPU

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021 - Case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371011 - PSU

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019 - Heatsink (needs to fit the motherboard)

Now I just need a motherboard, I don't plan on SLI'ing, only want to play oblivion, Warhammer, and a few other games. Just need a motherboard which can be used for overclocking my PC. Just need a mobo which can support my few needs, don't want a billion dollar mobo, just something that will allow for easier overclocking and somewhat good speed.

First the case is awesome!!! Antec 900 for life!

Second you should find a CPU because any PCI-E mobo supports a 8800GT and their almost all PCI-E.

I have everything, I just am switching cases and a few parts out. My old case won't fit a big enough PSU, so epic fail.

Just need a mobo that can be overclocked easily, around 100 bucks and supports quad core, PCI-E 1.0 or 2.0 (probably not 2.0 for 100 bucks).

You should get something like this if you don't want sli P35-DS3Lrisc-vs-cisc

Can you vouche for this Mobo?

The only board i would vouch for in your price range is asus p5n-d.But you don't want sli,and its $150

Oh okay. That board you linked before is smaller than the normal atx (12x8.3) instead of 12x9.6, probably wouldn't fit the fan I need =\.

Your case determinds that.

Well with less space, probably means more cutting corners, smaller board, fan closer to ram or even over it.

The EP35-DS3l, would easily work with that HSF, the board is just a little narrower, but no biggie. A very good board.

Also the DFI bloodiron is a very nice board, with the typical DFI build quality and BIOS options, an excellent board for Overclocking.

those fans have been prouven not to beat the good old normal zalmal copper fan (directly on cpu).Angry_Bosmer

Proven by who?

Yeah I know... EVERY single mobo out there that isn't old and outdated supports quad core, LGA 775.Pokemoncollect1

I just want to this out.

NO! Just because it will fit into the socket does not mean it will work just fine! You need to make sure that the chipset will also support it! Using a mobo that will only support a low power CPU and fitting it with a high powered CPU will not yeld the best results. It could work. Also you need to check the FSB..

not much into fans but i think this is better

DFI - 1333mhz and 1066mhz. Using Q6600. Pretty sure it would work?

"DFI - 1333mhz and 1066mhz." That does not tell me much, I would amaginit would, but please link the page to the board. Its always best to know what your buying inside and out. I like to go to the manufacures website and look at the "supported CPUs"... I don't know much about DFI, I know Gigabyte posts all the supported CPUs.. and add more CPU support with bios updates.

I know Gigabyte won't give you support if you use a unsported CPU, and motherboard support in VERY important... Try getting a new board with a OEM copy of windows... dreaded reactivation phone call with a idiot on the other side.

Isn't a new build, already got my hard drives with vista on them. Just going to yank them from this computer, and put them on the new one.

That could be a problem... YOu have vista on a harddrive already. Was this copy of vista OEM or retail.. if it was OEM you need the EXACT same motherboard.. If you get a new board that is not the exact same you MIGHT be able to trick some dumb microsoft rep into reactivating your OEM windows.

Sometimes you don't have to reactivate if you buy a new board with the same chipsets.

In that case yes.. Companys such as HP, Dell, and Gateway have their OS's tied to there motherboards... Not bones about that.

YOu can buy Vista Home or Home permium OEM for 90 bucks from newegg.

Don't those require special licenses to use? Or are those the builders OEMs? Not really sure =\.
