Looking for the best motherboard to support:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz
Patriot Viper 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD3200AAKS 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s

I do want the option to go SLI if I so choose. There are so many motherboard choices out there and I have read a ton of reviews but none seem to have a solid bottom line best choice for what I am looking for.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I am looking for both the best single and best SLI solution. Also not really looking to do and OCing, I just want a rock solid system.

750i or 780i would be the best bang SLI chipsets. EVGA 780i FTW should be out. I wonder if EVGA will release a FTMFW edition. :D
