I am building a gaming rig and I am told I need a 790i board for my setup to actually work, but every one I see seems to have some sort of problem.
This one seems to have way too many DOAs and assorted other problems:

and this one isn't Vista certified:

most reviews say they had no problems but one guy did (and also mentioned a lot of people shared similar problems on the support site).
Those are the only two I could find. I don't know what to do, since I already have the rest of my build planned out. Please help if you can.
Setup:
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9770 3.2 GHz
4GB DDR3 Corsair Dominator Memory
4x320GB Barracuda HDD in RAID5
nVidia GeForce 9800GX2
I was told that in order to set up SLI and have DDR3, I need a 790i. See, I eventually will either upgrade to dual 9800s or wait for the 9900 series and go SLI with those, assuming they will be better than GX2s.
