Opinion on Mo Bo for i7 920 processor.

Hey everyone, as mentioned in previous threads, I am fairly new to building computers so I was hoping to get some advice on motherboards.

I purchased the i7 920 processor from microcenter and I am currently looking at these motherboards:

Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard

or
EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX X58 SLI LE Intel Motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188049

From what I can tell, the gigabyte is cheaper because the max supported memory is 16gb compared to EVGA's 24 gb.

Would you guys recommend I got for the 24max GB or the 16GB is more than sufficient?

I am looking to build a gaming computer and is future proof as well. Thanks in advanced.

Sometimes I use the Newegg reviews to help decide between choices and it usually works. Gigabyte board only 51% 5 egg rating and EVGA with 71%, I'd go with EVGA.

Check out this X58 mobo article.

Of those two, I would go with the Gigabyte. However, for gaming you don't need more than 6GB so the maximum RAM should be a non-issue.

After some thought I am now leaning towards this one:

It is the cheapest and fits what I currently need for gaming.

Here's another MATX board to compare with EVGA. I personally have the Asus very nice little gem for the same price. Evga or Asus both are winners !!

Agree, either the Asus or EVGA board would be an excellent choice. To be honest, I'm not sure which I'd go with if it was me making the purchase.

Both good boards...are you going to run SLI?

If you are concerned with low noise, you might be better off with a full size board to give your multiple graphics cards more room to breath.
