I'm getting ready to upgrade my computer and will be purchasing a GeForce GTX 280 and Intel Core 2 Duo E8500. I will not be running SLI (and obviously not Crossfire) so I don't need or want to pay a premium for dual video card support.
I was thinking perhaps a P45 board, but I am a bit overwhelmed with all of the different chipsets available these days, so I'm looking for recommendations for either a chipset or specific board. Also, I was considering low timing DDR2 instead of DDR3 unless someone can provide a convincing reason to go with DDR3.
