Yeh, the wording was a little off, but the Total was surprisingly $1000.43 or something like that. I guess I will just get the 780i and 1 9600GT. But no one has answered my question yet, why can't you run 3 9600GT's in Tri-SLi when the XFX 780i supports it? Can anyone let me know please, thanks.

it doesn't because nVidia didn't make the extra SLI port on the Geforce 9600gt, Tri-SLI is supported by 8800Ultra, GTX and the 9800gx2 (currently)
so if you're only getting a 9600gt, you really don't need a 780i (unless you're getting a Yorkfield or a Wolfdale right now)

Ahhh that sucks. Why don't they make an extra port for all their high end cards. The 3 cards you listed would cost wayyy too much. I guess I could get another board that supports 2 cards in SLi. Does Asus Striker and Maximus Formula support dual SLi? Also, I'm getting the Q6600, so no Yorkfield or Wolfdale. Should I get the 45nm Quad core? Would it be worth it, I don't remember, but there was a new 45nm Tech quad that came out, it was OEM for $299. Is it worth the extra $100?

The Asus Striker and Maximus Formula cost the same if not more than the XFX and EVGA 780i. So I guess I will stick with that, or just go back and get the DS3L and 8800GTS G92. Hmm...

I edited it above, they are about the same exact price as the 780i, so I will just get those. But now knowing that I can't do Tri-Sli with the 9600GT, I guess I am not as interested in paying out that Extra $250. I think a normal 8800GTS G92 would be fine for me and a DS3L. And If I need to upgrade later down the road, I can always get 2 8800GTX's or Ultra's and get a 780i Mobo.
Yeh, and then be broke for 8 months lol.
I have a question, if I get a DS3L instead of 780i, I will save $150 and if I get 1 8800GTS G92 instead of 2 9600GT's, I will save $50. So that is $200 cheaper for me, but if I get 1 9600GT instead of 2, I will save $145 and be paying only $55 out of my pocket for a 780i and 9600GT. But my question is, will that be as fast as a DS3L with 8800GTS G92? Will I be able to OC it and have it around the same performance as an 8800GTS G92? Let me know before I order. If so, I'll just do that, so later down the road, I can add another card for Dual-SLi.

the ds3l and gts will beat the 780 and a single 9600gt
i got the exact same setup...except that my mobo has a few major changes...but its like almost identical.
if u get the 780, you will be able to go sli later if u wanna so taht maybe a better idea.
and the 9600gt works reallly good in sli so u cud go ffor the 780i and one 9600 for now.
