I'm planning on building a system with an E6600 and an 8800 GTX, I was wondering if a motherboard like this Foxconn would bottleneck my system, or if I would have to step up to something faster like the new 680i boards. I don't really plan to overclock. Thanks.
 
On the same chipsets at stock, there wont be any difference since theyre all meant to be same. In an case, different chipset 'bottleneck' are only detected by benchmarking and invisible to real world performance.
 
Agree with this 2 guys, as always, but I would add that dropping that much money on the other component, you might wanna look in motherboard with more option and more OC potential. Thats just my .02 cents, that boar dwill work fine but I think Spending 1k on CPU/GPU and 99$ on the mobo is not really balanced.
