Hi All I am having trouble finding the right motherboard I am having trouble finding the one I am looking for.

I am looking for a motherboard can run great on gaming, graphics, also music also 3D object I do alot of making interiors and starships with 3D Studio Max.

The type motherboard I am looking for is:

LGA775 socket (That can work with either Quad core or core 2 duo I am still deciting on those two.)

SLI chipset hoping for an nforce 6 (Unless you guys suggest against the shipset.)

Overclocking ability

Great on quality and performace beings the boards I have been seeing have good quality but poor performace.

Also hoping that it can also run on GeForce 8000 series and PCI Express.

I would like an Asus board beings I never have problems with there boards.




Can you guys help me out?

The board i posted can overclock just as well. Would be a waste of money to spend so much on a board.;)

lol overclocking yes. but as far as sli, 680i has double the bandwidth (may not need that much now, but still hurts, and later it will help to have full bandwidth). also, i just like how it has huge heatsinks (can't hurt, right?)

If you are in the US, don't buy it from Tigerdirect, buy it from Newegg. It's $25 cheaper.
