This comes out to $796.45 ($936.44) if I SLI'd the 8800 GT's.
I don't know what motherboard to get. I need one that supports good overclocking, has integrated sound, and supports SLI (and must also be compatible with everything else there). Please help.

If anyone has any suggestions about any of the other parts, please let me know. I'm open to any ideas.

Actually....

The link was http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] CVRqCjCVRq

I've actually posted the same tinyURL link on all the other computer building/hardware forums I've been to without anyone making any comments like the one you just made. Next time, to not look like an idiot, actually check the link before you say anything.

With that said, kindly go to hell. Thanks!

Me look like an idiot? Please.

tinyurl.com is banned from many, many sites thanks to wankers like you.

Also, why didn't you post the direct link in the first place?
