I'm building a new rig, and planning on upgrading to two nvidea GPU's in the future. I was looking at building on the ASUS P5B board, but turns out it's only crossfire compatible. Are there any current sli compatible boards that are of high quality? I was thinking of these options:

1:ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16813131071)

2:P5N32-E SLI nforce 680i (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131073)

I'm leaning towards the second option...does anyone have any input on what motherboard to get? My system specs are going to be:

e6700
Crucial Ballistix PC2 6400 800mhz 2Gb (matched 1gb pair)
8800gts superclocked 640mb (x2 eventually)
Tuniq Tower cpu cooling
Silverstone TJ-09 case
Silverstone 650w PSU

Finally, I'm looking for a price range that's no higher than the low $200s (max 240)

Skip the Asus's and grab the Abit IN9-32X Max, less bugs, better performance.
Or...wait a little bit more for the DFI 680i motherboard.
