Furthermore, what's your total price limit? jamescoleman Posted at 8:19 am on May 26, 2008 i'm with dickij03 on this one but i would go with the nforce 7 series if you have the money so you dont have to upgrade soon as the nforce 6 series (i have it). make sure you have good cooling and i wouldn't suggest water cooling or big heatsinks that stand way up over the cpu. get a case that has 120mm fans.
