For the mobo: why?

For the GPU: a few less FPS won't kill me, SLi mobos are cheaper and more common.

how ever Angry bosmer my Friend where you live in canada ? right now in ottawa : as i know off or NCIx.canada
there is 225$ E8500 huge SALES
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=27785&vpn=BX80570E8500&manufacture=Intel
http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=29821&vpn=GA-X48-DS4&manufacture=Gigabyte
and this motherboard or Any Better but people complain of asus bugs or problems so GIGABYTE Or asus X48 FTW

Because if you want to go nvidia i got some review past post that show 780i vs 790i same gpu & vidfeo card ins li
how a 790i is outperforming by 5-10 fps higher then a 780i motherboard but 790i motherboard are not beyond 280$
so is X48 how ever there is a feature i don't understand
and im trying to see what is the point of
double lan connection
doubles the bandwidth

The GA-X48-DS4 with Teaming functionality enabled allows the 2 single connections to act as a single connection for twice the bandwidth, improving overall throughput with lower CPU utilization.

Network fault tolerance
Prevents network downtime by transferring the workload from a failed port to a working port.

i don't see how it could be better then one single 1GIGABith ethernet connection trough pc :)

750FTW is pretty low compare to 780i or 790i for sli performance
according this review http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3283&p=9
not making any fake statement i hope and apprently it true benchmark
some perform at the same clock of E8400 : EVGA 780i vs 790i or ultra
at 1280x1024 compare to a Overclock when to overclocking there a big differance
from 4.0Ghz clocked 780i vs 790i with sli 8800GTS wich is realy close of 9800GTX
