This is exactly the type of advice i was looking for thanks alot for the insight, and I will definatly check out the HD 5870, mega kudos to you

I've been saving for awhile and can now start a build from scratch. I have about a $1600 budget :D give or take 100 depending on performance advantages/disadvantages. I have this build in mind so far...all from newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129043 Antec...

Are the Micro ATX boards obviously smaller just to be more compact, because space is not an issue with my case.

The Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80601920

Thanks for the article. It has good feedback, but there are still few debating that x16 2.0 vs x8 will bottleneck a higher end card and some disagree. I like all the features of this board, I just have to find out if it will 'choke' my dual 9800gtx+'s or even tri SLI if I buy another.

I am looking to upgrade mobo's so I can SLI my new 9800gtx+'s and am interested in the EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE Intel Motherboard from Newegg. I am new to the SLI business, but don't you need two/three PCI x16 slots to SLI? Why does this board claim to SLI but...

Sounds too easy, I guess the hard part is going to be reconfiguring my case for the extra psu

What do you think about this guy? I've been an Nvidia fan as well.

Yeah for $550, he sold me this rig, it also came with a Corsair HX520 psu and a Seagate 750hdd, he is in the military and getting stationed in Germany. I've only owned a p.o.s. laptop and I couldn't pass up the deal. I'd planned on building my own anyways and now I have some hardware to work with.

:lol: I just noticed that right after I posted. Stuipid me, I'm still waking up. I will check it out. Quick thought, I'm also looking for a good mobo to upgrade to so I can SLI my 9800gtx's. I'll worry about upgrading processors later.
