Well whats this going to be used for? Gaming? no Quad for that.... no point in it. Duo 2 is what you need....if its for gaming. If its to do work , anything with databases etc then Quad would be way to go.


I guess your title does say PC gamer :P

Yeah. If you are not going to SLI/Crossfire you can get cheaper boards but it is hard to get a quality Overclocking SLI/Crossfire board for under $200.

Also, about the Biostar, I would not recommend them as they have awful customer support and the one board I got from them was terrible. But thats just opinion and I am sure others will disagree.

If you are going SLi

-Evga 750i FTW
-C2D e7200
-Maybe 2gb of DDR2 1066 RAM

If you are not going SLi

-Gigabyte P35-DS3L or DFI DK P35
-C2D e8400
-G.Skill 4gb DDR2 800 (blue sticks) or the 2gb DDR2 800 (red sticks)

Best overclocking boards out are intle x38 and p35 boards, not going to be under $200 if want the quality and FSB. Longevity is a major factor, don't waste your money
