Gee...thanks for the support guys. Nothing says like let's flame this newb to hell just because he knows nothing based off what you two posted.
Hell let's just forget about helping him and let him waste his money off a complete setup, oh and instead of just ignoring his post, let's urge him to buy a complete setup even when he's already on a tight budget or force him to by flaming him. So much for hardware help.

There's a reason why most of us are not answering all of your questions. If you don't know the difference between AGP, PCI, PCI-E, chip-set, and codecs, it going to be a very long thread.Originally Posted by Eclectic_Loner
If you still want to build, start by stating your max budget. Then state how you plan to use this computer (school reports, gamer, autoCad???). Most will try to give you the most bang for your bucks in terms of hardware suggestions. Unless, you have 3-5 thousand bucks to spend, don't ask for "what's the best mb?" When you state you want to get a 6600 vid card, the best MB question becomes totally irrelevant, which is why it was not answered. Start with your budget and go from there.
Good Luck.

The board you've looked at has a full audio processor, not just a codec.
However, it also has twin SLI graphics slots, so you are paying for those and you won't use them.
It also uses DDR II memory, so that would be another item you would have to replace.
Darth has a good point about telling us what you are trying to achieve. It is a lot easier to give advice when we know the endpoint.
