For the price you are paying for the MoBo and Processor you might as well go with an Intel i7 processor and mobo.

Yeah, I second the move up to i7.

What are you using to power the rig?

I'd agree with the i7 assessment. I also have a hard time paying more for a motherboard than for the processor I'm using. Intel X58 motherboards (ala i7 boards) can do SLi so you don't need that nForce chipset. The only problem I see is that DDR3 is still expensive. But with your budget (just looking at the $ of the motherboard) you should be fine.

or you can save youself some money and get a AMD Phenom II X4 940. You can get that CPU and MB for 330.

The 690 is a great price. I would shop around a little and you will probably find it cheaper. I managed to get mine for $60 + shipping. As the others have said for the price you are paying for the motherboard, CPU, and RAM you might as well move up to i7.
