The eVGA 680i doesn't handle the quad cores very well. Take a look at this thread.
They do fine with a dual core.
I know better than to try to sell outside the classifieds.

I'm pretty sure 680i is discontiunued.
I went to evga's forums & one of their reps claims that the 680 A1 is not discontinued, another rep recommends to hold out for the 780 series, he says it is coming very soon, but I've got to get this thing completed, so I need something fairly quickly.
If I decided to go the single vid. card route what would be a good one there? The x38?
hmmm.... i don't know about this. i was over at eVGA forums and they (eVGA) hosted a big lanparty and had k|ngp|n doing some stuff with dryice on a new 7 series board. he got a 45nm quad to like 5.9GHz - sounds good to me. they also set a new world record in 3dmark01 using DI w/o trying to hard.And early reviews are not that great.
Geta cheap p35 board and then later replace it with a 780 series if you really want to get SLi.
Asus, Abit and Gigabute all do good, cheap, P35 boards, such as the P5K.
