EVGA E758-A1 x58 + GTX 260 SSC in SLI

i was considering that build a month ago. The dell was selling the regular GTX260 216core for $130 shipped. I ended up getting a single GTX285. I did this because 1. I want it to be more future proof that later on when I SLI it up with GTX285, I'll have better performance. 2. I will soon be purchasing 30'' dell monitor. I did not want to risk having not enough GPU power to drive the monitor sufficiently.

So really, ask yourself what kind of game you'll be playing and in what resolution etc. I feel that most people should be ok with GTX260 SLI for awhile.

As for the Mobo and the Case, I ordered the same and all the rest of my components should be arriving tomorrow.

good luck with your build.

This the best setup I have ever seen!!! (read my signature.... I have the system you are wanting to build)


Save yourself some money and get the EVGA X58 LE MOBO. It is hard to beat the GTX 260's prices right now.

Those three GTX 260's look sweet... I might look to add another one in my system if the prices continue to drop...

What is the difference between the EVGA X58 LE MOBO and EVGA X58 E758-A1?

The warranty?

Can you give me the link to the LE? I cannot find it on NewEgg?

Is it this one?

Very nice, even the combo savings is better

Actually with running SLI on this motherboard I just read it only comes with one x 16 PCIe slot (16X, 8X, 4X, 4X). Wont that drastically hurt the performance of SLI'n?

Yes Sir, most peeps that buy that board use 1 beefy video card as opposed to Sli...

I had that board paired with a GTX 275 and it was plenty fast. But i wanted to find a board that was made by EVGA and not spend 400.00$ on a Classified.... I decided to sell that PC to a friend and look for other options....As far as EVGA goes, i feel like I am stuck do to the fact that I do not use Ati cards ATM and want something like an LE but with Dual pci-e x16 slots.... IMO the LE is not the best SLI x58 mobo out due to this issue, but as far as for a single GPU solution it is the BEST ATM.... Just keep on looking at other boards till you find the one that has what you need... dont just buy cause it looks sweet....make sure it has what it takes to keep you happy..

Well ATM you will have to take your chances and go with either the A1 or P6T Deluxe...

If I was buying a new X58 mobo (with your hardware specs) I guess I would go with the A1, but only due to the Sli option....taking in consideration that the dual 260's are EVGA cards....

with $350 you'll have plenty of choices. I vote for A1. which is ~290
