May I ask why you desire a NVIDIA motherboard if you're not going to SLI? A Gigabyte EP45-UD3P would be an awesome choice, overall. You're going to find most, if not all, NVIDIA chipset boards are pricey!

no the 650i doesn't even come close to the 750i sli ftw, plus the 6series i just old technology anyways. get a eVGA 750i SLI FTW because its has 100% solid capacitors allowing for higher overclocking, than lets say the normal evga 750i or xfx version or asus too i believe. Its a great board i ordered one two weeks ago but it arrived with a really bad bent pin so i had to send it back unfortunately. also once you get the board make sure you do the vdroop pencil mod as well and then you know grab another gtx285

You absolutely don't need a NVIDIA chipset for a single GTX 285. If it's just temporary, I really don't see the need for it. The only advantage to an NVIDIA chipset is SLI, really.

If you don't need SLI the Gigabyte EP45 UD3R is a very good choice. You could also go with the UD3P and use the second PCI-e slot on that one for a Pshyx card or something.
