I know this has been asked but.......

I am buying a new system since mine is about dead... I will be getting a core2duo 6600, with 2GB Crosair XMS2 Ram, and 2 7900GTs. I need the best mobo i can find to run it stable, and supports SLI. I also am thinking of overclocking the CPU. I was going to get the ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium but every review iv read states the extrieme instability. I need to know this ASAP, since i need to order all the parts by monday.

Overclocking and the current Nvidia 500 chipsets dont go together. 325Mhz FSB is the current cap.
Wait for C55XE if you really want to OC.

I might get the Intel Chipset version instead... I wont be able to go SLI, but... i will be able to OC. Besides SLI does not even give such a dramatic increase that i should spend my time worying about it.... However im still not sure on the PSU. I will be running one 7950GT, 2Gs ram, one e6600, 2 500G SATA HDDs, 2 DVD-RW, and 4-5 fans.... What would be a good watage/power supply. I am currently looking into a 600W.

i believe that the gigabyte DQ6 can support 2 video cards and is a great overclocker. =)

You can run SLI on any chipset with modded drivers, but as you said its an horrible $/performance.
OCZ GameXstream 600W is a great PSU that cant be beaten for the price. XClio GreatPower series are modular and similar to the OCZ ones.

i am putting the order in later today....

You might get better deals on some things (video cards right now arent that good) if you order everything later on.
SuperTalent memory uses better ICs than Corsair (and all the DDR2 800 CL4 for that matter) and Zalman ZM-STG1 is the best goop on the market.

the only problem is i kinda need the computer sooner than later... also i didnt see that brand on newegg and im getting a prtty good deal on all the other stuff..so im happy.

Yeah but without mobo theres no computer...
