UPDATED: What motherboard to get??? fans for q6600 and 8800gts 320mb??
EDIT:
Now im looking into trying to save money. Whatever I don't necesarrily need or its waste of money please comment on it. its currently $1266.90. lower would be better.
I'm not looking to get the best motherboard, only what suits me for less than $200 (preferrably way less). I plan on getting a q6600 processor, 8800 gts 320mb, 2gb ram, antec 900 case, windows vista 32bit. I don't plan on overclocking, because I plan on runnng my build on just fan air (2x120mm frontfans, 1x200mm top fan, 1x120mm back fan, the VGA and CPU fan, and possibly optional side 120mm fan and 120mm CPU and VGA fan that connects to back of hardrive cartridge). So what are yall's opinions on what motherboard I should look into getting?
And speaking of VGA and CPU fans, should I stay with the stock fans or do yall recommend me to get better ones? Remember I plan on not overclocking.
Thanks in advance for any replies and comments.
