I am getting the ASUS P5E3 PREMIUM/WIFI-AP @n LGA 775 DDR3 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard with a 1000W Power Supply. I was wondering what 'high end' CPUs will be compatible to this motherboard and what RAM will be compatible [DDR3 is what I've heard].
Also, while i am on the same subject. Could you tell me what graphics card will work on this motherboard also high end. Would water cooling be a good idea? and what models or manufacturers are good in this area? I'm also not sure on what else i need. If I've missed out some important components please put them also in. Many thanks guys if you can help me out. |

DDR3 1600 will work, grab a E8400 or E8500 and two 8800GTS and be happy.

Are you absolutely sure about this? That motherboard has 3x PCI-E slots and all boards I've ever used with the 790i chipset and/or more than one PCI-E x16 slot worked fine in SLI.

The P5E3 motherboard has an X48 chipset which supports Crossfire with ATI graphics cards.

lol would help if you were looking at the right one.
So if i got this right... mobo = Premium P5E3 CPU = E8500 [However, wouldn't a quad work better?] Graphics = 2 X 8800GTS |
