Why buy an sli board if you aren't/can't use it?

 

[gwai lo]

the "FSB" of the 3000+ is already 200

I'd look into the XP-90 or something for overclocking..but that's just an opinion..

I'd get 6800's for an SLI setup..as dual 6600GT's don't quite offer a HUGE difference..but..then again i wouldn't bother spending money on a SLI setup..why not just a ultra nforce4 board

RAM looks ehhh...but i don't know anything about RAM, haven't heard anything from that RAM's oc ability =/

cuz it has raid 5 and the cheapest raid 5 pci card is not cheap at all,

the ram is........ okay....... micron never has any errors, i could also get kingston hyper X ram but thats $50 more

and with the cpu, hmm. i'll OC it to around a 3500, nothing ULTRA crazy, i never do any cpu intensive things except reencode dvds but i leave it on over night and its always done on my 2500@3200

Ok then make sure you get an ATX2.0 PSU.
