This is what I am thinking of:

BFG nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
BFG GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

Or:
EVGA nForce 680 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail



Good match WITH THAT memory ????

How's your search doing hansje?

Looks like I'm right on your heels setting up a system spec. Going to get a Core 2 Extreme x6800 and need advice on mem kits as well. want something I can OC a lil if or when I feel like it.

May I ask why you're opting for the E6600? is it price? and if you had the $$ would you go for the x6800?

Hi

Already have my new system:

EVGA nForce 680i (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

Crucial 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Tenth Anniversary Dual Channel Kit (TY2KIT12864AA663)

Sharkoon CPU Cooler Copper Twister

I have already great case cooling seven fans blowing in and out

At the moment I try to figure out where to start to overclock this baby
I have the new P24 BIOS installed...first I have to disable things, I saw in the 680i Nvidia overclocking guide.

Still a lot to learn
