Msi is good but just lacks PCI-E x1 slot.

My suggestion for the best.

For Overclocking
DFI Lan Party NForce 4 Sli-DR + AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester S939
The 3200+ can be overclocked to 2.6Ghz easily on this Mobo with stock cooling. The Mobo is a overclockers dream

But the problem is DFi not available here in India if you can get it from
abroad.

OR

Asus A8N Sli Delux + AMD Athlon 64 3200+ / 3500+ Winchester S939
Get your self some Hynix[D43 Chip] or Transcend DDR400 PC3200 2x512 MB Ram these rams also overclock a bit.ASUS is also capable of gr8 overclocking.

Yeah DFI wud no doubt be gr8 but wont be available in india. Your best bet would be the Diamond or the A8N sli ! Although i think SLI is not worth it, if you doing a 6600GT sli forget it. Get a 6800GT which will be faster than 2*6600GTs @ max-res with aa and af.

imo
buying an sli rig here in india is a costly affair....
but then..
the asus a8n sli - 12500
amd 3500+ - 14500
geforce 6600gt - 11850(dunno the brand) maybe XFX cause that`s what i saw all over lamington road today.
1 gb dual channel memory (transcend) - 4950
all this i got today from one.dealer. from lamington road..
its costly here man!sad!

Get the asus sli delux it the best and future proof you can also upgrade on to the amd dual core on this mobo ( in fact amd claimes you can do this on all 939 mobo).

ya me too read on the net.. i think tom`s hardware guide. that asus bios could be flashed to support dual core procy's... that`s great news...
sli is a great option if getting the rig from abroad.... i`m trying so desperately to get it as my brithday gift :p ... lol
i went to newegg.com. and get a whole config from there.. and the cost came to around 65-70k.. which is great... much better than buying it here.. if your buying a whole new pc.... as i`m..
