Hi everyone. The search feature isn't really *working* for me. I never get any matches searching around.
I'm on my first build with a $1500 budget. I've put together a list of things, and thanks to stuff I've found on these forums, I managed to fit an 8800GTX into the budget. To do this, I decided to drop the AMD 5600+ that I had intended to get and replace it with the 3600+, which I heard is a beast of overclocking potential, and Cooler Master Hyper TX hsf. My question is, though, whether or not the ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe will be able to handle the sort of overclocking I'm after. I really just want to make sure I don't bottleneck the GTX, which really is the staple of the build.
Here's the mobo:

It's SLI capable... but in the end, I'm not entirely sure if I'll be going SLI with the GTX. But if possible, I'd like to keep the possibility open.
If the M2N-SLI isn't going to cut it, could you suggest some suitable (not necessarily SLI capable) socket AM2 boards that would make good replacements?
Thanks, and sorry for the long winded post. Any feedback is welcome.
Oh, and here's my build list for anyone interested:
