Okay, so I have narrowed it down between the p5q-e and the deluxe.
The main reason I like these is because of the layout. Plus other features, but I like the layout because I want to through my asus xonar d2x in there with my 8800 gts which takes up 4 slots with an aftermarket hr-03 gt.
So, in order, it will be the xonar in the pci express 1x/4x slot. then the graphics card taking up the rest.
Now, my one question (so far) is this:
Is the 16 phase power really worth it? It looks like I can pick up a p5q-e for $160, while the lowest I can find the p5q deluxe is around $204.
So, what do you guys think?
Note: I will be overclocking a q6600 that I got from jason (the volt modder) for reference.
