Motherboard: Does not have PCI Express 2.0. So your card will not work with it.OP-S: Vista = Eye candy
There arnt any PCIe 2.0 boards out yet for SLI, only the intel x38 is out atm i believe for PCIe 2.0 and its retardedly expensive.

The new nvidia 780i boards will be coming out very soon (most likely in the next month) and these will basically be the same as the 680i boards, but with PCIe 2.0 slots, which will work together with the 8800 GT cards.

As for the card not working with the motherboard he picked, thats completely incorrect. All of the PCIe 2.0 cards are backwards compatable because the interface is the same physically. So he wont have a problem with it, he just wont get the performance out of it as he would with a 2.0 board.

Vista = ...horrid for gaming, i use it and it kills my FPS, and im on a machine almost exactly like the OP posted (im not in SLI though)


Also question... is there any reason why you chose to get 4x1GB sticks? instead of 2x2GB sticks (which work better together). This being because:
1) Some 680i boards are picky with 4x1
2) 2x2 is upgradeable
3) 2x2 puts less stress on the memory controller

Just throwing that out there. other than that, looks like a good system.
