Hello, I am not going to drop the $$ into a dual Video card option at this time so i would rather know what good Motherboard Single VC options would provide the best for the $$. Let me know what you think and or if you would change that setup? I have a couple 300gig 10k vRaptors that i'll raid, creative xfi Sound Card, and a lian li case that are from my previous rig... all connected to a 24" Samsung LCD

Currently looking to spend around $1000 + or - $100

Agreed... My thought behind that was that I've spent more in the past on generic PSU's that have failed and PC Power & Cooling is a rather solid brand that i would trust... I've went with Enermax and Antec in the past and I am pretty meticulous with keeping things cleaned out and thermal greases fresh if need be.. but for some reason PSU's like to die on me... :(
