Core system upgrade @ $550 or less

I plan to use my SLI'd 7800s, yes. Hence the SLI board being selected.

ok... take the cheaper one.... they all have similar features......

the 680i isn't that great of a board for the price... don't get me wrong.. its a nice board and has a lot of nice features (6 SATA Ports and Dual Gigabit Ports)
but p35's are overall cheaper and overclock better... heck even the p35-ds3p is cheaper than that... and that has Crossfire instead of SLi (but who really needs it anyway)

EDIT: did you plan on using your two 7800gt's for SLi on those boards?

Ya, he is still using his 7800 SLI setup.

nevermind, he already answered that.

[veg1992]

the corsair 520 and 620 still have 2 PCI-e Connectors, so you can still use it

UPDATE:

Core system upgrade is being held off until November, when I can determine what graphics card(s) I may get.
