What Mobo to buy

[junker]

Need help choosing a mobo for my new system. Would like to stay around $200

Known:
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83 Ghz
8GB ram
1 Seagate Barracuda - OS
2 Seagate Barracuda raid 1 - Data
GC - crossfire / sli / single card ????? decide later
eSATA - would like one on back of board and header for one on front of case if possible
Case - Ultra m998 if mobo has eSATA header

Have looked at MSI P7N Diamond

I am looking for an Intel supported board, not an AMD.

eVGA 750i FTW Edition. It's a GREAT mobo. Plus, you can go SLi when you think it's time to upgrade again.


Oh and for eSATA support, get one of those eSATA PCI cards. They're like $15-$20.

Nope, that isn't Intel, it is AMD.

I recommend this one - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136045
