    Asus Rampage Extreme or XFX nForce 790i?

    Well im debating on wich mobo to get the rampage extreme or the nforce 790i. The processor im getting is a Q9550, and they have a great combo deal on the Q9550 and the Rampage Extreme for $80 combo discount then a $50 rebate. The rampage extreme has a TON of cool features over the 790i, and is cheaper. You may ask why i am even debating this, but the reason i am debating this is because apperently the rampage extreme doesn't support SLI? I've already bought a GTX 260, and i was thinking i might buy another and SLI them later on, but if i got the rampage extreme i would have to buy a whole different card thats specs are good enough to be worth replacing the 260 for.

    Anyway, thoughts or recommendations?

    I demand the link to this bundle for 80 dollars. Last time I check the rampage was around 200 dollars.

    I've had bad expeirences with Nvidia boards myself, I wouldn't suggest buying one.

    Protip: Radeon HD 4870 > Gtx 260, and it's cheaper.

    I have read some reveiws and it looks like most of the time the nForce has come out on top :), do you not know anyone who is using either of them so you can test them out?
