I'm looking for a good Motherboard that supports Core i7 and SLI. It must also be able to run with an ATI X1800XT, since I did not change all my hardware right away.
Thank you in advance.
PS: Can you suggest a PSU that could handle i7 and two "higher" GPU in SLI - that is, a future PSU?
ASUS P6T Motherboard
Chill CP-1000m - PSU
Cool. Thank you!
Can you also suggest some good RAM? 3x2gb would be nice.
For RAM, it just depends on what you might otherwise claim. Will you be overclocking, a little or a part?
1333MHz which I have purchased can be used to overclock a bit, and gives good performance. With 1600MHz RAM you can overclock around 4GHz and often a little over, but then you also have to pay anything more for them.
The Kingston 2GB sticks are fine, and the price of them are high. You simply purchase 3 of them, you have 6GB.
About power supply, so you can save a little money by explaining what higher GPU you intend to run. Now I have chosen a 1000W to be safe when you need it, for example. choose 2xGTX295. Choosing 2xGTX285 you can easily be satisfied with a 700w and is somewhat cheaper.Quote:

Then there is the Kingston totally fine. I am not linked to the Deluxe version, and I did not for the reason that it does not support 3-Way SLI. Otherwise Deluxe Edition also quite fine. It costs just a lot more than non-deluxe, so unless you need something specific that Deluxe Edition has / may, so stick to P6T.
As long as you apply 3 sticks of RAM in the same motherboard it works as Triple Channel.
