need help

im planing on doing a little upgrade i already dicided to buy these:

Intel q6600 - $189.99
Evga 9800gtx - $169.99
Kingston HyperX 4GB (4 x 1GB) 1066 - $81.99

but cant freaking decide on a motherboard i looked at the Asus P5Q - $129.99, but it just has one pci 2.0, i will like the option of sling my gtx some day if i need to, i saw the 780i line all crossing $230 wich dont fit on my budget, i though i could upgrade my pc with 600 guess i need more, but maybeu guys can give idea of a good board withing a good price....??

When trying to keep a low budget, Crossfire/SLI is rarely a good option, you would sacrifice performance now to be able to keep a system afloat maybe 1 more year (by then even that might be useless). I try to remind people that costed 600$+ less than 1.5 year ago are now being beaten by 250-300$ card; they might have well spend 300$ then and another 300$ to get similar or even better results.

I say put your money on a 4850 or 4870 and if you need more, just get a bargained 4870x2 or another mid-range GPU that will be equally good in a year.

ok guys i think ill go with the falowing:

HIS Radeon HD 4850 double cooling( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814161243 )

Kingston HyperX 4GB DDR2 1066( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820104058 )

ASUS P5Q Pro and Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 combo

everything for $560, pretty happy with setup if ya agree with it, ill buy!! lol

note:: some mobo's do not play well with 4x1 ram [timing problems i believe] better go 2x2,besides 4x1 will be harder to sell down the road..
