Which SLI Mobo will give you the most Bang For your Buck?

James^.^ · 06-12-2008, 06:29 AM

I have been researching and deciding which parts I'm going to get for my very first computer for a couple weeks now, and I have finally came to a screeching halt because i can't decide what SLI Mobo i should get. The Crytek 900$ computer that Crytek made had a NVIDIA nForce 650i Socket 775 mobo ( the website i read didn't specify if it was SLI or not, but i really think it would be cool to upgrade to dual GeForce 8800GT 512MB ) and the problem that i have is that the only motherboards i can find that have an Ok rating when i type in "Nvidia nForce 650i 775" is the MSI P6N SLI Platinum and the ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA.

here Is the link to the search

One of my problems is that both of these had a few too many bad reviews scaring me away from choosing one, so my question to you is...
What SLI motherboard should i get?
Also.. Im not saying that i want to choose between these 2 im just looking for the best BANG for my BUCK.

Well, 6X0i was the last generation of Nvidia's SLI chipsets, 7X0i is newer:

That EVGA "FTW" model looks nice to me, but wait for someone with more experience in these matters to give you their input - I've never used SLI myself.

W0W I'm really liking the XFX MB-N780-ISH9 Kind of expensive for me but I'm sure it would pay off allot. Thanks for the help again fortyways
