I wasn't planning on upgrading soon, but I came across some bargains in a sale and got myself some parts to kickstart a new dual core build :)

You can see my main rig in the sig below.

Well, I got myself a C2D e4600 along with some OCZ Reaper HPC 4gb (2x2GB).
I'm planning to put this into a case I bought a while ago, a Silverstone TJ08.
I'm also looking to transfer most of my parts from the sig rig.

I'm currently looking at finding a very stable and clockable mobo for this setup. I've mainly been looking for Micro-atx mobos so I can use it in the TJ08, but if they are not worth it then I'd probably go for an ATX mobo.

Here are some of the mobos I've been looking at and would appreciate comments or suggestions, especially with the hsf I'm looking at:

DFI LANPARTY JR P45-T2RS - expensive and concerns with the PCIE 2.0 running at 8x.
Asus P5Q-VM
Asus P5Q-EM

Asus P5E-VM SE
Asus P5E-V HDMI
Asus P5E-VM HDMI






Many thanks!
 
I dont think the DFi boards pci-e lane running at 8x will hurt the performance of a HD2900GT.And im sure DFI will fix that soon with a bios update.But when you pay that kind of money you want your stuff righ so id go with any of the Asus boards

Yup, though I'll probably be upgrading the gpu within the year. Thanks for the info.

Which of the Asus would be best?
