I was looking through the Motherboard recommendations tread but I just got confused and the mobos I found were not at newegg.

This is what I have so far:

Case: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16811133154

(Current) Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16813131142

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16817153028

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

Ram (x2):http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16820148144

HD: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16822136178

Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.com/product/...p?item=N82E16827106072

Vista

Now I'm mostly concerned with the motherboard; I plan on putting in two 8800GTs or GTSs and I also would like to overclock a bit. Will that motherboard be ok, or is there something better out here? I would like to keep it between $200-$250. Thanks for the help.

The mobo is ok and I may say that you?ve got a good system there. You may want to wait a little bit for the new 8800GTS to be released. Since you?re planning on SLI it is better that you go for a bigger PSU. From what I?ve heard the new GTS card needs a lot more power than the GT and even if you go for the GT now you may want to upgrade in the future.

There is also a very good thread for the ASUS P5N-E SLI here in the forums : The Unofficial ASUS P5N-E SLI 650i Board Thread. That's a good place to learn of any problems this mobo has.
