This is what I have; I am mainly concerned with the motherboard.

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?item=N82E16819115017

RAM (4 gigs): http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16820148144

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16817341002


Video Card: 8800GT (SLI)

Motherboard:

http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16813131142

OR

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?Item=N82E16813130081

OR

http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813131073

I am mainly concerned with it running stable on 4 gigs of RAM. Which of these would be my best bet? Or is there a better mobo for this?

Thanks.

are you going to use sli? If not it might be worth looking at a p35 or x38 board (if you are set on sli, then waiting for 780i (supposedly next week) would be worthwhile). None of the intel sli boards work all that well with quad cores (or at least they have issues with overclocking them) so if you want 4gigs + quad core, then either going with an intel chipset or waiting for nvidia's update may make sense.
