I've been looking for a couple weeks now on a good motherboard to buy, I don't mind purchasing online rather than at a local store.
I'm building a computer with a buddy of mine, it'll be the same build, so I'll need two mobos. But this is the build:
Intel QX6850 Core 2 Extreme -- Socket LGA775
2x 8800GT BFG OC PCI-E PCI-E 2.0 X16
Creative Fatality XtremeGamer PCI sound card
2GB DDR3 1333MHZ (2x 1GB)
1TB Seagate 7200RPM Master
250GB Slave
750watt PSU
--
The motherboard I'm so far most interested in is EVGA 790i motherboard, so if anyone has a similar suggestion around the $320 dollar price range, or less it would be much appreciated.

must have a PCI legacy port for the sound card I purchased.
DDR3 support is also necessary and the Motherboard must be socket LGA775.
