Hey,
Sheesh, looks like a nice motherboard. Here’s my pickle, I could get an XFX 680i SLI Mobo for $295 CAN. Or I could go with Asus. Which is better? Asus or XFX?
P.S. If I went with Asus, I could get the P5N32-E (680i) for $270 CAN or the P5N32-E Plus (590i/650i) for $230 CAN.
What should I do?

Robert, I’m building a very similar system to the specs you’ve posted above and I’m personally going for the Thermaltake Toughpower 750W PSU which is about £77 (or the equivalent in whichever currency you use). Unless you’re wanting to go SLI with two of those Ultra cards I can’t see any reason you’d need more than that :).
Also my question to anyone who reads this; I’m thinking of buying some corsair 2×1GB sticks, DDR2 PC2-6400 800MHz. I *think* that it will be fully compatible with the board (I’m going to be using the LT version of this board) but I’d like someone just to verify that for me so I don’t blow it up or something :P.
