Well the 780a is not worth the extra money...the SLI motherboards are not stable and have many problems...So I would not advice u to go wit that motherboard...
U can go with the AMD 790GX mobos, which are crossfire certified...they are very gud too...

If u still want to go for the SLI, then the best option is the core i7 + X58 mobo which has the SLI certification...other mobos are not worth the trouble...
