if it doesnt have to be from DFI, this is a solid board

though the board you linked to has onboard video but the intel one doesnt. though you said you were going with a GTX260, do you need onboard video for a short time?

do not get a pentium dual core, just got a e7 series or somethiung.

i would suggest any Asus P5Q series

Mek,

I asked the same here to a few guys going to Intel from an AMD Opteron and my sig is what I got and built. Easiest build I ever had. You can copy the hardware to suit yourself but everything worked first power up just fine. It's my first try with DFI and I'd do it all over again. The Intel series "E" chips are fantastic.

osiris,

The stories of the complicated DFI BIOS'es held me back for a while but to be honest, mine is so user friendly it's like falling off a chair using it compared to my Asrock Dual SATA 2 Opteron board. I'll never go back from DFI.

Well, DFI P45 Blood Iron Elite is the board. Dunno if its available now, but should be soon.

They say it can hit 600 Mhz easily with duals , and its a budget board

DFI is know to have alot of options IF you choose to explore them, once you start changing bios settings, it can be complex, if you leave it alone, they run as good as many other boards.

xtremesystems also has detailed threads for all dfi boards. very easy to look up all the bios settings and whats working best for everyone.
