It looks like the Z68 is a good mobo, but it also looks like it is better for ATI. If I like NVIDIA, and want to go with a Sandybridge I 7, what is a good mobo without breaking the bank??

I would like smaller, but I want to make sure it is big enough for my video cards and good cooling as well....... Damn, I feel like a noob at this...i have never built a rig from scratch.

Then read some more... I like ASUS mobo's, but that's just me. I've used Nvidia (GeForce) and Radeon cards with ASUS mobo's, both with great results. Here is a sweet one to fit your SandyBridge I7 (LGA2011 socket): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131803 There have been quite a few threads about custom builds here in the last year. Cpl Mofo, myself, TSW (I'm pretty sure).. and others. Lots of guys on here that are more than willing to talk your ears off about custom builds.. just catch up with one of us and go to TS and we will talk your ears off about it.
