Thanks!

Found the site searching for the MB, Tiger Direct and Newegg like you say did not have any sandy bridge compatible MB's in stock that I could see. CentralComputers out of Cal Looks legit to me, guess I will find out. I know that they ship quick, I ordered it this morning and got a ups confirmation number tonight.
Yea, looks like there are a few variants of the Asus P8P67's. This one looked like it had everything I needed on it
http://www.centralcomputers.com/comm...=1299810089640 , does not matter to me how many usb ports it has though, I have a 10 port usb hub for that. I liked that it was Nvidia/sli and ati/crossfire compatible so I am not restricted to one or the other down the road. And it was under $150.

Is it possible to just swap out your old Mobo and CPU and put in a new set without any issues... im talking about comparability with the OS on the Harddrive... or will i have to wipe my HD and reinstall everything all over again?

Yea no doubt, be a small miracle to get away with doing that without having some kind of issues. I hate to start over too but want to be sure I have a good clean install with my new hardware.
