I need help deciding

Get the 750i if you wanna have the option for SLI in the future. My 750i board will do 475 fsb. As to the 9800gtx cards, get the 4890 or the 275 above getting the 9800's. I had a pair of 9800gtx's in sli before, the single gtx260 that replaced them had better performance overall.

okay, but to give you a relative idea of your prices when they come out:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102830

4890 = USD $245 on newegg

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131155

4770 = USD $99 on newegg

Then... X 2 = $198 for more performance than 4890, GTX275 and even a GTX285!

cheers mate, hope it helps!

thanks for that man, but unfortunately the prices dont mean much. There is only one shop that actually sells for cheap, but they slow to get products, they dont even have the 4890 yet. But i could get a 4850 for cheaper than a 4830 from them

That would be a good choice as that card will cover you until the 5xxx series comes out, of course you'd have to settle for less performance than a 4890...

I have a 4870 atm so i would xfire the 4850 but its still above my price range
