No, don't get the EVGA 680i. It doesn't support 45nm Penryn. If you must get 680i, go with ASUS & DFI. Personally, I would be getting 780i if I were going for a SLI build.

For gaming right now unless you're planning to run SLI, your best bet would be a P35 either Gigabyte P35 DS3L or ASUS P5K E with or without WIFE, same price, the latter has more features, 6 SATA connectors, 3 PCI slots, eSATA, firewire, and WIFI on board if you choose that board but will cost you about $40 more. I think the $40 is worth it but depends on what you need. All those boards will run the Penryn. For gaming I'd go with the E6750
