which motherboard to get
Hi guys, I'm new to the whole hardware/building own pc, this is the first time
I;ve only got the atx case and video card for now and I was wondering if someone can help me choose the right motherboard, between $100 & $150 the graphic card is an ATI RAdeon HD4850 and I'm willing to buy a quad q6600, thanks |

I rather get the asus p5q, and get a retail cpu.
The q6600 is good for a quad, and the e8500 is great for a dual.

Cool, the asus p5q is about $170 cdn, so it will work fine with asus HD4850 and q6600 CPU?
which memory stick I should buy? I was thinking of the 4gb dominator but it’s quite expensive, any hints would be appreciated, thank you very much |

This is good memory-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231122. You want to buy memory in pairs so that your motherboard can make use of Dual Channel memory.

Thanks Guys
Finally this is what I’ve chosen, I just need someone to confirm that everything is compatible, I read on some forums that the video card is bulky or long, so I was wondering if its gonna cause any problems , Motherboard ASUS P5Q LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16813131295 CPU Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor Model BX80562Q6600 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16819115017 Graphics SAPPHIRE 100258-1GL Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16814102802 Memory OCZ Gold 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model OCZ2G8004GK http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16813131295 awaiting your confirmation, One more question about the video card, I was palnning to buy the ati hd4850 512 mb for $195 so I figured for $20 or $30 more I could get the 1gb, did I make the right choice? thanks Last edited by Soldtheworld; 12-16-2008 at 03:56 PM. |

The link to the memory is the same as the motheboard.
Also, I wouldn't get the 1gb card unless I was using a 24" monitor or more perhaps. I doubt you would see much difference on the lower resolutions. |

I’m using a 19” screen only, good to know that I wont need a 1gb card, I’ll save some money I get the 512mb
Much appreciated guys I’m probably gonna be back soon for more technical questions as soon everything is in place, this is my first build and I’m just learning step by step, |
