Hey all I'm still on my first build but can't decide on which mobo to buy. I'm planning on using the pc for gaming, folding and overclocking. Here is my parts list so far.
1)i7-950
2) WD Caviar black 640gb
3) g. skill ripjaws 6gb 1600
4) msi n470gtx twin frozr II or Zotac Amp gtx 480
5) Corsair H50 cpu cooler
6) Haf 932 case
7) XFX BE 850w or Corsair 850w
8) Asus 24x dvd drive
9) Window 7 OEM

Now the mobos I've been looking at are all under $250 as of now, going to order one this week so hopefully prices will stay or drop. Need to stay under $270.

1) EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1
2) EVGA 132-BL-E758-TR
3) EVGA 141-BL-E757-TR
4) ASUS P6X58D-E
5) ASUS P6TD DELUXE

These are the ones I was thinking about any others are welcome. Thanks again for all your help.
 
Personally I would go with either 2 or 3, and the deciding factor would be if you want dual LAN ports IMO. I don't agree with a price jack just for a warranty so 1 is out just for that, and ASUS customer support isn't all that great.
 
I chose #4 for my most recent DAW PC build ($170 open box - still had most everything with it, too!). Does 210bclk with ease and runs my 930 at 4.3GHz (205 x 21)...

:cool:
 
i had the evga 3xsi (e758-tr)
abandoned it cos rampage 3 came out...but the evga was a good board.....though price didnt justify when i bought it (500AUD, thats around 400USD)
