This may not really belong in the mobo section, but I want to start with the mobo, so here goes... I haven't been very active on here in a few years. Life got in the way. As a result, my poor PC hasn't seen much in the way of an upgrade in the past 4 years or so. I'm running an AM2 board, Gigabyte M57SLI-S4, with a Phenom 9750 with two 8800GTS 512's, all powered by a crappy Thermaltake TR2 750. I am sitting on a pair of Palit 560ti's that I picked up in the classifieds here. Now I need to put something behind them that can keep up. I'm definitely on a budget, but obviously I need a mobo, proc, and probably a PSU. Obviously I need SLI, and it looks like the 990FX chipset is the way to go for this. The Sabertooth seems to be a good performer with perhaps a good bit of problems. I really kind of need something that will fire up and go. I use my PC for some mild gaming, but also need it ready for work when I need it. If you want to elaborate on what you'd go for beyond a mobo, feel free to. That would be most helpful! What I'm really looking for is a good recommendation on a dependable and feature filled AM3 mobo at a reasonable price. Sorry for the long noob sounding rant. Let me know what you would do....
