Hey soo my Abit board just bit the dust, possibly took my cpu (x2 5000+) along with it but thats for another topic.

I am now going to take my 2x9600GSO 768's and 4 gigs of G SKILL DDR2 over to the intel camp.

I want to overclock an e5200 on a good motherboard that will allow me to drop in a nice quad core later on, maybe a year or so.

Now the more I read about the nvidia 750/780 chipsets, the worse they seem to be.. but if I can just get a decent overclock with one and have SLI working then I am happy.

I'm trying to decide between these 3, none of which I can find real reviews for...

xfx 750i

evga 780i

evga 750i

I can't spot any glaring differences... there is also an evga 750i for 100 bucks but has fans on the nb and sb.. doesn't seem like its worth saving the 40 bucks...

Honestly, you might be better off picking up a Gigabyte GA-EP45-XXX (Depending on features needed) and a Faster GPU, and sell off your 9600's, or use one for Physx.
