Ok, so this will be my first build. I'm still running my p4 2.0 that I got when I was a freshman in college. This rig will be focused towards high end gaming and HD applications. It will be running though an Lg 37" HD LCD flatscreen and will pretty much become my entertainment center. I'm looking for a motherboard that supports SLI and the core 2 duo, probably going with the e6400 cpu. Here is the board that was suggested to me, but I have some questions...ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP Socket T (LGA 775) NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI ATX Intel Motherboard I wasn't too thrilled with the reviews it got on new egg. Also there is mention of the nforce 6 mb's comming out soon along with directx 10 and GeForce 8 series gpu's comming out. Also, it seems that this mb doesn't take too kindly to overclocking. I probably won't overclock right away, but I still want the option when in a year or so this rig starts to lag with high end applications. What would be your recomendations? If needed I can post a parts list for the build. Thanks!
