Help selecting a motherboard??

[PeaceOnesxWai]

So i bought a intel q9550 off the forum today and im looking into motherboards to go with this thing..

what i really want is a MBs that supports DDR3 and SLI but so far i dont see any good rated MBs that supports DDR3 and is LGA775 socket.


Any suggestions on a MB? or opinions on these?

The xfx board may work fine. See if they offer lifetime warranty like some evga boards.

If your budget is limited to this mobo, my vote goes for the 790i ultra SLI. This mobo support DDR3 that is that you want, the other only suport DDR2 800, and for this price, you can get a better mobo from EVGA, ASUS, or Gigabyte.

And IMO, with the price of the q9550 ( if is this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041&cm_re=q9550-_-19-115-041-_-Product ) you can get a i5 or i7-920, that support DDR3 and the have more mobo posibilities

A CPU used isn't the best option.
