Thanks Robilar!

Yes, I intend to use a 8800GTX at the south PCI-e slot for this design. I appreciate your advice about board selection but the thing is I don't want to rule out my possibility to use an SLI layout. HR-03-plus is practically useless with SLI anyway, and HR-05-sli is also impossible to fit at the NB.

I will most probably not use SLI at first build but after a year or so (when 8800GTX prices become laughable compared to now) I may just throw in another one. Do you see what I mean?

In general I believe SLI is not the best for bang-for-buck (unless you SLI the best card out there) but when it comes to upgrading, it is definitely very handy.

Then again, I'm not sure if it's a good decision to invest in an expensive board for a future opprtunity

. Wow, I remembered my undergrad finance class!

Finally, yeah, congrats Robilar (and everyone) on the 100th page!

I understand your logic. I personally am a big fan of sli and have had no less than 4 sets of sli cards in the last couple of years. (Ironic the only set that gave me issues was my pair of 8800gtx. I confirmed that it was driver issues though and will likely pick up another shortly).

Having the option to add a second 8800gtx when they drop in price is a good idea. I went that route when I had a pair of 7900gtx (which i sold individually to members of this forum to get the 8800).

Im a big fan of SLI too.I use before the 7950gt in sli and volt mod.And the scores was great and gamming too.But once the 8800gtx hit the market i step up for only 1.Maybe some day go back into the sli.I really like the benches with a sli set up.

I hope you don't buy SLI simply for benchies....

sata hard drive
ide hard drive
Audigy 2
