    Here is the setup for a computer if I decide to build http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73858
    To save money I was thinking about getting a different mobo. My question is in your opinion is sli going to be a big deal later if not any recomendations on a mobo w/o sli that fits that set up.

    Not into sli myself 1 card plays well enough without the extra expense some feel different i'm sure but i got a family to feed :) i usually stay away from refurbished boards as far as a non sli board that will fit the ddr2 standard

    slightly less than the board on your last setup in forums and not a refurb:)

    So stick with 775 for intel?
    and will I need to get any cords with the parts. I know the refurbished mobo didnt come with wires but retail one does.
