Depends on your price range
750i based solution would be
Newegg.com - ASUS P5N-D LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
Review indicates it is not a great overclocker but is solid at stock and has a user friendly BIOS/features for standard set-up.
X-bit labs - ASUS P5N-D Mainboard Review
780i based solution would be
Newegg.com - EVGA 132-CK-NF78-A1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
For the system you are building I don't feel the added features of the 780i chipset will be utilized to the point of justifying the added $80US expense. 8800GT cards do not support Tri-SLI and that is the main benefit/feature for that chipset.
