Every few years I like to switch out some parts so after I built my i7 system (920), I've got the urge again. I was thinking of changing the motherboard, RAM, and maybe the video card.
I was thinking of getting this motherboard. Can't go wrong with either?

Are the onboard sound in these motherboard powerful enough to skip a sound card or leave it out?
RAM, i will probably go with 12GB from Corsair (I will read the MB of the one I choose and see which it recommends....I learned a lesson lol).
Video cards: Right now I have a 4870 Saphire card. I was thinking of ungrading; getting one, or upgrading and going SLI or Crossfire.
I might change heatsink also...it's sooooooo freaken huge!
Is SATA 6GBS a big difference or just too pricey? I have a velociraptor SATA II and Caviar Black SATA II presently in my system.
