All looks good to me. Just do us or yourself a favor and post a link to the exact mobo you are looking to use. Just to make sure the processor is on the supported CPU list for that mobo.

You know I really don't think this Mobo is compatible but I pretty sure I saw a socket 939 4 Sli earlier I'll keep looking but if this mobo is comptaible then please post back saying it checks out

No, that mobo won't work, it's Intel, and Intel mobo's don't work with AMD chips.

You are right, that is an LGA775 socket mobo and you need 939. here is a good one for a good deal with the rebate.

A quickie pencil mod and it's an SLI board, did it to mine, piece of cake. Instructions here: http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10736&page=1&pp=15

 

This still works on new boards.

I like that board also, I really like the layout of it. If you are using aftermarket cooling, (tower type) it is nice to have that fan blowing directly on the rear exhaust fan, also creating a more open space for many PSU fans to suck air in and exhaust it more efficiently.
