Hi, i'm looking for the best gaming motherboard, but so i can support these specs with the best effiency:

Intel 2 Quad core Q6600 (So i can overclock)
Nvidia 8800 GTX DDR3 768
3GB RAM
Windows vista home premium
A fairly good sound quality thing
730W power (I know an 8800GTX says it needs more, but it works with 525W)

any other specs you need to know, please aks. Thanks

Do you already have those components? There are better cards than the 8800GTX around now.

Do you want a motherboard that support SLI or would you be fine using one without it?

if your not into sli and your going to overclock . an x48 motherboard is the one

Those are my current specs, but while i'm at it, i have my old Graphics Card (8500GT) So is it possible and a good idea to run SLi with the 8800GTX and 8500GT? If not, no, i'm not gunna use sli.
