Now since they've pushed out a double release - the new 790i SLI chipset and the whopping dual GPU 9800GX2. And what a whopper.
9800GX2 @ Techreport (http://techreport.com/articles.x/14355)
9800GX2 @ AnandTech (http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3266)

A single $600 card slaughtered everything else on the market - beating three 8800 Ultras ($2000), and two 3870X2s ($900). Could someone PLEASE buy me one of these cards!?!?!?!?

And for the price and a 0.3 difference over tri-SLI 8800 Ultra I mean, COME ON!!!! I so want one of these cards....
And now for the new dream motherboard:
790i Mainboard @ Techreport (http://techreport.com/articles.x/14350)
790i Mainboard @ AnandTech (http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=3265)
Though there are boards out there with SLI and some with tri-SLI, this is the first one with dual 2.0 SLI. Here's the deal. Some rich Synergist girl buy these for me and I'll love you for the rest of my life. Some rich Synergist dude buy these for me and I'll take a bullet for you in Counter-Strike Source without fail! LOL.
Seriously, at the rate that technology is going, it's hard to keep up, but this new release is very very decent. The board is nice, but not nice enough to make me run at it and change my current 680i. The graph cards on the other hand, I'd find that cash if I could. Price and performance there are COMPLETELY UNMATCHED!!!! Still, I'm not paying that much yet. When the prices fall - as they inevitably will - then I'll take a stab at it.
PeAcE.
