| 609234 | 2007-11-07 21:51:00 | Im putting some parts together to build a gaming mostly PC, and im getting this proccessor: "Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600, 2.4GHz, 1066MHz FSB, Socket 775, 32/64-Bit, Kentsfield Core." Which Motherboard suits this CPU best ? as i mentioned above it will be used for gaming mostly. So it has to be a motherborad that supports nVidia gfx My budget is $400.00 maximum. Intel, or Asus perhaps ... any links to reviews will be great. |

| 609239 | 2007-11-07 23:33:00 | hmm this is starting to get frustrating but since were here now.. im certanly getting this case: Lian Li PC-A16 www.ascent.co.nz is that big case enough to fit these mobos and the lengthy nvidia graphics card ??? full tower too expensive.. any ideas |

| 609240 | 2007-11-08 01:35:00 | I'd say so but you could email them and ask. The 8800GTX is 26.7 cm long and the Ultra is 27cm. |

| 609241 | 2007-11-08 01:36:00 | The case supports ATX so the motherboards shall fit. The "lengthy nvidia graphics cards" are approx 9 -10 inches (228.6 254 mm) in length and therefore should also fit. Just beaten off the mark again. |

| 609242 | 2007-11-10 08:40:00 | Get a MB with X38 northbridge as it has a proper heatspeader that won't frequently crash and good for overclocking | JUST INSANE (6682) | ||
| 609243 | 2007-11-10 19:58:00 | That may be so but all the X38 motherboards I've managed to find are over $400 NZD which was the MAX that the original poster wanted to spend anyway. | stormdragon (6013) | ||
