Ok I have an ASUS motherboard ( Benicia) and I want to upgrade.

Currently have:
Memory: 8GB DDR2 800 MHZ
Hard Drive: 750 GB Hard drive Sata
Vid Card: (2) 9800 GTX+ (Currently have one this is why I need a new mobo mine doesn't support sli)
Processor: Intel core 2 Quad 9300 (LGA 775 Socket)

I have found so far:

Please help Price range 1-250 Its the motherboard you don't go cheap. ;)


P.S. I frogot my specs were in my sig... embarrassing....
 
I didn't quite get it ... Pick a brand-name board (ASUS, Gigabyte, etc.) that supports SLI, DDR2-800 and your CPU, check review on newegg.com and just buy it if reviews are good. What's the problem.

I don't think you want to pay more than $150 (that is to say I would not go for the 1st choice you listed). Your other choice did not get great reviews and nForce 750 chipset is a bit dated ... perhaps you want something in-between those two.
 
My pick is this board and it overclocks well and has a 3 year warranty.:)

GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-USB3P LGA 775 Intel P45 USB 3.0 ATX

^^ does it support SLI? jcraw07 needs to be able to use both of his 9800 GTX+

No it only supports ATI CrossFireX support.

I would go with
ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard Warranty 3

Thanks for writing back I found a killer deal and got an I7-860, 8GB of ddr3 ram and and mother board for 300 bucks, so I bought a 1100 watt psu for 100 and a 5870 for 350 more then I wanted to spend but at least Im good for a long *** time :)
 
LOL that sounds like a better move. Where did you purchase your motherboard CPU and memory for $300:shock:
 
ebay ftw the guy was selling his HPE-150 for 600 I bought it and my buddy gave me 300 for the other stuff he lucked out too and got the 23 inch 1080 p monitor and hes gets my mobo/ram/processor all for 300 bucks.
