Motherboard Suggestions

Hello all,

Just registered but have been reading the forums for awhile. I was hoping I could get some suggestions on motherboards.
Thanks!

First thing you should know when reading the reviews is that most of the current generation of chipsets (Nvidia 680i, 650i, Intel 965, 975) had issues when first released which have since been fixed so when reading reviews look for the most recent. If you want SLI you will need to go with the 680i or 650i boards something like this would be a good choice it has the 650i northbridge but unlike other 650i boards is paired with the 680i's southbridge to allow for 2 pci-e slots at 16x.

Price range from 99.99 up to 219.99, from what I read they have some really great boards.
