first grtz to all .. :)

need some help here .. got about 2000$ to spend - more is also good..less is fine 2, this made the list :

mobo: ?
cpu : e6600 + zalman 9500 or thermalright (ultra120-hr01-xp120)
ram: 2Gig of ? (corsair TWIN2X2048-6400)
video: 8800 gtx (asus or evga)
hd: raptor 74G (got some other hd's for storage)
2X cd/dvd writer (plextor or nec)
case: antec 180
power: thermaltake,ocz,zalman.. a 600W will do i guess

about the mobo... i'm a complete newbie when talking about OC, but am learning and maybe doing that in the future :D
so i want to make sure i buy the right mobo for the future.. this setup will be used most for heavy gaming and some video and picture editing..

some more info:
nvidia fan all the way,
i don't think i'm ever going to sli (better to buy new top model than buying a second old model imo)

from what i've been reading these are the better mobo's right now..?

EVGA nForce 680i SLI
ASUS P5N-E SLI
ASUS P5W DH Deluxe
Asus striker extreme

what do you guys think i'd better get .. all advice, info welcome....

grtz
