evga 680i or 790i ultra?
ok, so my question is, should i use the 680i from evga, or the 790i ultra, from evga, the factor of ddr3 price isnt something i have to worry about, so give me some reasons to go to one motherboard over the other, the hardware i would be putting on it would be a qx6700, 4 gigs of ram, and a pair of gtx 280's

Uh... if price isn't a factor then by all means pay an extra $200 for the mobo.
780i is more than enough imo.

right now i'd go for the 780i. ddr3 still has the crappiest price/performance ratio ever.
and the 680i is just about getting ancient. i've got the 650i and it's great but not for a new build.

The only problem with the Nforce 6 is that they don't have PCI-E 2.0 They use PCI-E 1.1 which is half the speed of 2.0
