im biulding a config
c2q q9300 2.5ghz
nforce nvidia 780i sli
8800gt 512 mb ddr3
the mobo costs abt 13k...but my dealer says, with all the taxes and shipping charges it will costs me abt 15k....is that true???...if it is, is there any other alternative board.....im gonna use the pc for animation and gaming...and im not gonna upgrade my pc for abt 3yrs....wht shud i do????

abit IX38 QuadGT and an ATI card seems better.[11.4k]
HD 4850 512 MB is much much better than 8800GT [at least 40~50% faster]. nd its for 11.5k on itwares or locally.
they both make a good combo.

I dont want to go for ati....can any1 plz suggest me any mobo based on nvidia sli chipset...
