Hi I am building my first computer (btw looks a lot cheaper than buying from somewhere)
Just need a couple questions answered and then a look over my build. Also this computer will only be used for gaming.
1. Can I get a SLI mobo with a Xeon cpu? I don't think so but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure.
2. Should I get a DDR3 compatible mobo or just DDR2?
3. What cpu should I get because quad-cores don't add much for gaming but I don't think I will overclock it. So which one should I get?
4. Should my gpu be a 6800GTX or a 6800GTS and which company should I buy it from?

Thx in advance for any answers

They did a review on a highend end build with a similiar price range

thx for the advice. Looked at the page looks nice but I need to go down in price. So I will look at middle range system which looks perfect thx for the advice.
