yeah man, I don't really see the need to blow money, I mean if you really want go ahead. New cards are coming out, nehelem or whatever its called won't be supported by the 775 so why but top of the line board, by the 750iftw. are you going to overclock above 3.6ghz? no? then don't bother with the q7600. But hey your money. ddr3 doesn't look like it will kill ddr2 for a while. My guess is by the time it does you will want a new mobo for new processors anyways.
