Intel Core2Duo E6850, Do you have your midn set on this chip? I run the q6600 with the 680iLTsli and am very happy with it, and I am a AMD fanboy. Make sure you get a beefy powersupply for upgrading. I went with a 1000w (overkill) but I will never worry about not having enough toughpower 750w from Thermaltake is perfect.
