hey all
im looking for a new mobo for my new PC. Im wanting either a 750i or a 780i or possibly a 790i. I will only be using 2 Sli not 3. I have been looking at the EVGA 750i FTW but i dont like the 4 SATA ports, no ESA and im not sure if it is True 2x 16xPCI-e or in sli its 8x each.

Oh the other side i have been looking at the ASUS StrikerII Formula. But it seams to not be worth the money as its not a very good overclocker and it benchmarks are only a bit better than some.

Any way, is there any other good mobo's out? Im looking for one that is good for overclocking.

Thanks

I think 4 is fine, 2 optical drives and two HDDs. PATA is there too.

true, but im trying to keep everything uncluttered. I like more SATA ports because i usually end up installing more HDD's and then i run out. ATM this pc has 5 HDD's in it and 2 DVD drives. Unless i can maybe get a PCI SATA card
