The only con I can think of is the terrible scaling of SLi. I heard its not a great overclocking board too.

As soon as I get my 680i exchanged for my 780i(Thanks Evga!Good looking out) I'll be sure to let you know.Even though I'm currently #1020 in the waiting queue:p: But it sure beats the hell out of having to out right buy a new mobo,and by the way if the 780i provides me with the same or better performance as my trusty 680i Than I'll consider it a true bargain.But thats just my experience.
