750i or 780i

[Droogie]

Ok, I'm kind of new to SLI and I was wondering what the difference is between 750i, 780i, and even 790i, I know the higher the better, but what will a 780i mobo get me, that a 750i mobo won't.

750i = 2 PCI-E slots, DDR2 RAM

780i = 3 PCI-E slots, DDR2 RAM

790i = 3 PCI-E slots, DDR3 RAM

^ Nice and simple!

And don't forget, the 790i runs at full 16x/16x/16x

^^ The 790i is just overkill. Not only is RAM going to cost you a fortune to buy, the board itself (if you buy eVGA) would cost at a stunning $100 more than the 780i.

Yep, unless you have a bunch of money and want to get the absolute "best", I don't see point in getting the 790i.
