I have to say that the eVGA mobos are quite awesome. They are very stable & great for tweaking/overclocking. I recommend the 680i or 780i boards dependant upon the processor you'll be using. Upgradability is great in either boards, however the 780i board has PCI-e 2.0 gfx ports. Unless you want to waste the money on DDR3 RAM (which I find to be unnecessary yet, esp for WoW), then the 790i board isn't worth it. DDR2 RAM is fairly priced & quite effective. The 800MHz 4-4-4-12 or 1066MHz 5-5-5-15 DDR2 RAM does quite well. I recommend 4+ GB of ram & at least a 512MB video card (eVGA 8800 GTS 512MB has great price/performance) I could go into more detail, but since I believe I've answered your question, I'll leave it at that. Feel free to pm me for more details.
