Looking to switch from AMD to intel need help!

I want to get a i7 cpu http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070 i need a good motherboard for this CPU with Nvidia SLI what one should i get?

Ahh the good old 2600K ^^ as for a mobo? I think most people have specific brand preference. As for a sli mobo off the 2600K I would likely go with.

"Asus Sabertooth P67 V3" The Socalled thermal armor nonewithstanding I like most of whats on that board, I like the build, I love the software, and overall I like the componants AND the 5 year standard warrenty that follows that board.

It is not perfect, but for the money you pay, It is one of my prefferred Mobos.

is there a better CPU to go with? or am i picking the best one....

O should have said i need a PCI 3.0 slot too sorry :(

If you do not plan to do anything more CPU intensive than gaming then go for an i5 2500k with a CPU cooler instead of the i7 2600k.

Well if money's no problem get a 3930K and P9X79 Deluxe. It sure is an overkill but it should last a decade :P.

yes this is strickly gaming..

I need a pure gaming CPU and a motherboard with a PCI 3.0
