Building a friends pc tell me what you think.

Well I want to build my friend a dual core amd nforce4 7800gtx.
Will these items work together to form a working system?

My biggest question is is there a better sli mother board I can find with sata3.0gbs and pci express 16x

I am still looking into I just started. Spent about 90 minutes looking so far so I am in no way in the know. Spent 3 months researching my last computer.

Please comment on what you think or point me in a new direction. Oh and thanks in advance for any help you will give to me. Domo

Why do 2 6800s in SLi when you can just get 1 7800gtx and get the same or better performance without the SLI headache?

You're welcome. And yeah not only to make the initial build easier by a bit but also to leave an upgrade path to slap on another 7800 series card later on down the line if more realtime rendering is needed.
