Thread: Help with Motherboard choice

I want to buy a new computer. And on the motherboard is still uncertain.

I am going to take the following things:
CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 BOX 3.16 GHz / 6Mb / 1333MGts 775-LGA
1Gb <PCI-E> DDR-3 ASUSTeK ENGTX280/HTDP (RTL) DualDVI + TV Out + SLI <GeForce GTX280>
Memory is something like this: Kingston <KVR1333D3N9/1G> DDR-III DIMM 1Gb <PC3-10600> CL9 x2 (x3) (I would like to DDR3.)
Similar Winchester HDD 500 GB SAS Seagate Barracuda ES.2 <3500620SS> 7200rpm 16Mb x2

Just do not know the power of the power you need to take all this goodness.

I want a good motherboard, so it would be "forever."
Objective - new games (at maximum settings), video and high-quality music.

Please evaluate the choice and / or recommend something else.

Maximus just hammer the nails. In so doing it for centuries.

Read "Common mistakes in self-selection of the configuration system unit.

Three modules will be slower than two. Better get a 4GB memory.

Well, where are you SAS device? Take a couple of normal SATA-II HDD.

600Vatt enough storage.

What is so bad MAXIMUS Extreme?? Many of its abuse and many admired her ... Made it to the games. Plus there a good audio card.

And I do not quite understand about the RAM. Do you offer 2 x 2 GB??
