Help!!! Choosing an Asus/Asrock Motherboard >.>

So I'm looking at upgrading my Gigabyte- P67- UD4 to something a lil more... extreme.

At this moment, I'm looking at the Asus Maximus Extreme and the Formula version motherboards:

I was curious to what real difference there is between these two boards and what I should go with.

Price isn't to much of a worry, I'm just trying to get top of the line, of course if someone were to recommend something cheaper with great features, I'm open to it.

My current rig is this, incase it matters.
CPU- i72600k
GPU- ATI Radon 5970
Ram- Corsair vengence 8gb
PSU- Corsair HX850w
Mobo- Gigabyte P67-UD4
HDD- 2x OCZ Vertex 2 64 GB, 2TB WD Green
Case- Cooler Master HAF X

This rig is watercooled, not air cooled. I mean proper watercooled, not just the closed loop cpu cooling.

I've ordered a couple of EVGA GTX 680 FTW 4gb (reference design) to replace the Radeon 5970, and I'll be replacing the SSD's, HDD, Ram and possibly the case in the near future.

I plan on overclocking once I get the two 680's, both CPU and GPU's, I don't do benchmarking, well not at the moment. I use this computer for everything, mostly gaming, video editing, gameplay recoding and next year I'll be doing a lot of programming.

Oh, and I own a sound card, It's a Creative Sound Blaster Fat1ty.

Based on that info, what motherboard would be the best option?

You're not really getting much out of the new boards except PCIe 3.0, native USB 3.0, and onboard GPU support. You won't reach the OC potential of those boards on watercooling, you need LN2 or dry ice. For your uses, you don't really need to upgrade your board unless you need one of the three features I listed before.

There's really no reason to change boards if you aren't getting an IB CPU. Given water cooling I'd stick with the CPU and board you have, and spend your money on other things.

I'm looking to change because I've had problems with this board and would really like to switch to a brand I trust. I am putting money towards other things, but for now I'd like to change mobo.
