Well, if you want a reasonable price, why have an SLI supported motherboard when you haven't mentioned you want two 6800GT's ? If I were you, I wouldn't get an SLI motherboard for the reasonable price you want...

yup. go with a cheaper board that has the same chipset, cuz' unless you buy 2*6800GT's your're spending extra money that you won't benefit from.
 
the reason why I am looking into a SLI MB is it could give me some good upgrade options for the future. The shipping is in the lower 48 US States

Apathetic meant keep the motherboard that you had already though about getting, in this case, an
NForce4 SLI Motherboard

(Doesn't exactly narrow it down though :P).

Mate, if you give me a price range/limit, I will put together a computer for you, and then we can go from there ;)
 
I looked at the website you refered and most of it is cheaper than what I have seen at newegg

Im sure there are some things that can be changed from that to become even better to still remain in my price range. If you have anything in mind or just anything you feel could help please post.

Wayyyy...no...Praetor and I went through this discussion, and if you get a 6600GT, it would be muuuuuchh better, trust me. "A 6600GT will run circles around a 6600" - What praetor told me.

Also...why not upgrade the CPU to perhaps a 3400+ or a 3500+ ?
 
Yeah, taht case comes with a 450W PSU so Im gonna get a case w/o a PSU and get the PSU you posted. Well I know I wouldnt get a 3400+ cause it doesnt come in 939.
