Well, the time has come. The 3870 X2 is out and it's the gfx card I want.

Now the motherboard, I haven't decided on MSI or Gigabyte yet but someone hinted that the MSI boards were a bit better. If that's so the choise is easy since they're cheaper as well.

No, the 770 boards lack some features so it's a 790FX or 790X based mobo I need.

Anyone know for sure which mobo is best?
