May go SLI in the future but not right now I guess if I decide to get that bored I will just have to buy another bored when I want to go SLI

I think you should stick with you crosshair and deal with it. By the time you go SLI, the cards will be outdated, and so will the mobo.

wait for nvidia's 9800x2 as far as i know you wont need sli and it will be bitching, that is if you were going to go the sli route (i may be wrong on the name

)
i second the 3870x2

Ya but still I'm AMD and Nvidia I don't do Ati at all and I'll go Intel only if I can find something I like... Money is really not an issue in this case but I don't want to spend my entire tax check only like half lol

I say go with the 8800gt. That will save you money but still have fantastic perf.

Phenom 9600 + 790X + AC Freezer 64

Great combo lol

Spend a little less and get a 8800GT because its pretty much the same as a GTX in most benchies.
