Motherboard replacement....

I need a new replacement, well... not really new. I have an C2Q Q6600 at 2.4GHz, paired with an Abit IN9-32MAX. The Abit mobo died recently and I'm looking into replacing the motherboard, great if under 80USD. I need one ATX, with the nForce 680i, 650i, 750i, 780i, or 790i. Basically, a motherboard with an NVidia chipset, not Intel (yeah, yeah, I know.). I need one that supports OCing and SLI and at least 6 SATA ports with 7.1 audio. Can Ebay be a good place to look for these types of motherboards? I don't want to give up my Q6600 yet, since Ebay sells parts for them for cheap. Anybody with suggestions put them here.

This is the closest that I can find that is able to overclock, has SLI, OCing, 6 sata ports, and 8 channel audio (which I think is 7.1) around $100 ($20 over your budget :( ). It has an 8 phase power design so it should be pretty good: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Asus-P5N-T-Deluxe-LGA-775-780i-Motherboard-Ship-worldwide-/181312528457?pt=Motherboards&hash=item2a3711a049

The shipping is so expensive as for around that price you could get a pretty decent modern motherboard. Found a 780i that is on bid for $65: http://www.ebay.com/itm/PNY-Technologies-MBA780I-nForce-780i-3-Way-SLI-ATX-Motherboard-LGA-775-Socket-T-/121266937218

 

Couldn't find how many phases there are but they seem to be heatsinked. 

Also there are no returns on these items but it is covered by ebay money back guarantee (not sure how good this service is).

Nope, over 90 with shipping and tax included. I need something 80 or under incl. shipping and CA tax. Nice board, not nice price tag.
