Looking to purchase the following and was just wondering, although I like the Asus board, it is SLi whereas if I am having an ATi card, I might as well go for a board with crossfire. However all the crossfire boards seem cheaper, does this mean I would be better to keep with the Asus? (Probably won't ever use another card, but it's easier to have the option!!!)

Also would someone recommend a sound card to go with this or other suggested board. Only really need 2.1 sound.

Thankyou all (Good fun this shopping lark when you can finally afford it) :eek:
