Why can't there be just one dang board that is awesome that does it all!?! Geez... It seems that the Asus Deluxe is the closest to complete awesomeness but no on-board graphics, no built in wifi and those would be great additions! Sheeooot.... :rolleyes:

It's funny cause the Deluxe has better audio than both of them, firewire,a powered e-Sata port but no video... That is its only shortcoming, no built in on-board video... It's $254, The V Pro is $204, The Msi is $229.00... The Msi does not have bluetooth, only 7 on-board SATA ports but it has...

Well NB, give me your best argument.... I mean, warranty, rebate... Pretty good product... I keep stewing over the two Asus boards... Either the V Pro Gen3 or the Deluxe Gen3.... Aggggghhhh....:confused:

Hahaha! Yer funny K1tty. I see you have one of those mobos so yur biased...;) I think I may just go with the MSI Z68-GD80 G3 I have some good equipment and I kinda like that board and the 5 year warranty...

Interesting points and I did look up some benchmarking stats but I bought my card literally brand new for a phenomenal price so for that plus its versatility I am grateful. I am not an extreme gamer but a dabbler in all things. That is why I am building a seemingly "intelligent" system. I want...

The Quadro 4000 Card has wonderful capabilities for video editing and conversion specific to various uses...

I appreciate all of the input. The Nvidia Quadro 4000 is a 2GB $700.00 plus dollar card and I will be using it for editing and I need reliability, versatility and some decent awesomeness. I have a Haf X Case and all kinds of goodies, 16gb RAM and want the board that is superb.... Can ya blame...

My dilemma is as follows: I have a brand new i7 2600k, three 120GB SSDs, an Nvidia Quadro 4000 video card and now I need the 1155 Z68 motherboard. My choices have been narrowed down to the Asus P8Z68 Deluxe Gen3, the Asus P8Z68 V Pro Gen3 or the MSI Z68A GD-80 G3. The price points are $254.00...
