best would be a 790i but 8Gb of DDR3 would cost you an arm & a leg & then your other arm & leg! :eek:

Id say an Asus P5E or a Maximus Formula.

Its DDR2 ram im going for.
Heard the maximus isnt great for sli

X38 Maximus can't handle SLi; that's the Striker II Formula that you're thinking of.

The MSI 780i variant is supposed to be a good stable board, so look that up.

Having 2 8800 gtx's, will I have any space for the my x-fi gamer soundcard?

Thanks
