Core 2 Duo components!
Hello all, I'll be building a Core 2 Duo system and I could use your help selecting components for him.
CPU Is already selected, the E6600.
I'd like to know the ideal motherboard and RAM combo (2 x 1GB) to go with this CPU. This machine is for gaming so I'd like very quick stock performance since I don't like OC'ing too much (real bad luck with data corruption on hard drives with my OC efforts).
SLI - I already have one 7950GT, I would consider getting a second if SLI really does increase performance so much that it'd be worth another 270bucks to get one.
I'll be getting some hard drives to go along with this for a RAID, I don't need more than 200GB, and I'd like 16MB cache.
Any suggestions you could offer for these requirements would be great!

Memory doesn't really matter either, since you're not overclocking: Any well-known PC6400 will be fine. OCZ, Corsair, Patriot, Crucial, etc.
As for HDD: WD or Seagate SATA-II. Find the cheapest with your requirements.
