Even though I probably do not need the best motherboard I feel that I should have it. It just seems like if I were to get the best of one component it should be the Motherboard. I was thinking one of the ASUS mobo's but that Foxconn one looks great also. Suggestions and first hand experience is very welcome thanks.

Yeah, that Asus Crosshair ROG is a beast! I'd say that one is "the best" as of right now, although it's probably got way too many bells and whistles for the average user. And keep in mind that "the best" also comes with a price tag to match! ;) You can get two NF 570 mobo's for the price of that Asus!

What's your budget? How much are you willing to spend on the mobo?

Well at first I was thinking the Foxconn mobo $200. Because it was pretty much designed by nvidia as a board to show the nforce 590. But then my friends were like get an asus board because they've been around longer and is most likely better. So now I just want the best one and I was thinking the crosshair because of the soundcard, because i wont be able to put an XiFi one in due to the physx card and the wireless N card.

Also once sli is setup u only have 1 regular pci slot on all other 590 sli boards beside the crosshair. So I think I may have to get the crosshair.

Boy, I hate to have to break it to you :p but yeah. I'm afraid the only mobo that will function with your set-up is the uber-elite Asus Crosshair ROG. :D I'm really sorry, but you'll have to get the best one. :cool:

It's allright man, I do not mind buying the best. Also the physx card deserves it spot in the computer. Well i got a little while till I am going to buy so maybe a cheaper one will come around with two pci slots in it.
