Motherboard or Video Card

[xtpacygax]

Hi,

Ok, I am going crazy right now trying to figure out what to do. I wanted to RMA my motherboard and video card. Now I amthinkgin about keeping my mother board which is:

For sure I am RMA'ing my video card. My question is, should I get a different motherboard and a 8800 GTS, or should I just keep that motherboard and get a 8800 GTX? I am not sure if I will ever use SLI, but the better video card will be good. I don't really know what to do. Can someone please help me out in making a decision. I was kind of thinking about getting this motherboard:

But I don't know.

Thanks,
Ted

EDIT:

By the way, I have a 550 Watt PSU. I know it says minimum is 450 Watt, but is my PSU sufficient. I don't want to be spending any more money than neccesary.

If your budget doesn't allow...stick with your mobo and get the 8800.

Is the motherboard I have right now ok performance wise do you think?

Your mobo is fine..

I would get the 8800.

Why are people so intent on wasting money on the 680i motherboards?

I am not intent on wasting the money that is why I am asking this question.

You could have chosen any other sub-$200 SLI-capable motherboard. Why the $250 eVGA 680i?

Ok dude I am not getting it. I was going to get it because it had a lot of good ratings and there aren't really any bugs with it. With alot of the other motherboards there are many bugs with things like sound, overclocking, and alot more. I am not getting it anyways so just stop talking your annoying.
