I am also looking at this set up

Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-EP35-DS3R LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Dynamic Energy Saver Ultra Durable II Intel Motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128086

Graphics Card: MSI N9800GX2 (price has dropped about $40 dollars due to the pending release of the GTX260/280...and I won't have to deal with the buggy SLI motherboards )

Total Price: $1,310 (before shipping)

My personal opinion is to go with the P35. Having SLI on one card will save you loads of headaches, plus you won't have to deal with the usual nvidia chipset problems.
