Q6600 + Chipset

[Twist86]

I was just curious could anyone direct me to a site or show some examples of whats a good chipset for the Q6600?

I been playing around and I got some sucker to buy my 9750 phenom for about 175 bucks on ebay so I am thinking of getting a Q6600. (which is sad since 9850 is 170)

I did a lot of reading up on phenom boards but now I am clueless on Intels.

I won't be going SLI or Crossfire so I only need 1x 2.0 slot...upgrading to a 4870 in a month or so...little b-day gift for myself.

I need it to have 1 IDE connector and at least 2x SATA.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

will you be overclocking?

Go for the P45 chipset.

+1 for P45 chipset.

The P45 is a great chipset, but more expensive, and if he's going to toss the q6600 in and not overclock at all, he can get away cheaper with the P31 easily.

Yeah I plan to OC to what range I dunno yet...if I get the G0 I might shoot for 3.4-3.6 B3 I will stop @ 3.0
