Hey, I know absolutely nothing about mobos so I need some help. I plan on getting something like a Q6600 with a HD4850 or a 9800GTX, somewhere around those lines. And I'll be getting 4GB Ram.

I am just looking for something that is decent priced, Once I build this I wont be doing any upgrading, and I dont plan on O'C the processor, if I do it wont be much(maybe 2.6-2. and I'll have someone else do it.

Oh and if you have any pointers for building a decent FSX rig please tell me. I'm looking to build a rig for about 1,100-1,300US. And thats with everything(OS, monitor), I have a laptop and this will be my first desktop, so I have none of that stuff.

Thanks

A good motherboard which will allow you al lthe room you need in clocking and memory upgrades for DDR2 and not break the bank would be this one

Is this one any good?

Yes, that will clock

but no more than 405MHz and you wont be able to run a Q9650 processor @ 4GHz with it if you ever decided to upgrade the proc later

but I do know you can clock to about 405Mhz with that board so it will run a Q6600 at its top end
