Well,

I have been on the q6600 platform since launch with a nice healthy 3.6 ghz and want to move to i7 to push my Gtx 480 a little more. I know that overclocking the i7 is a bit different with qpi etc. Could someone suggest a mobo ? usb 3 and the new sata standard would be nice. Sli maybe in my future as well.

Should I just get a i7 920 ?

Thanks, I am just overloaded with info and cant make a choice. I really have had good luck with asus.
 
If you want to go all out hop on the ASUS Rampage III Extreme, otherwise you'll have to give us a price range.
 
Thanks guys. I didnt think about price range. I guess $200.00 would be the most I want to spend. I will check the ones suggested so far. Thanks ! Is a 920 the best choice for 4ghz ?
 
That giga is a fine board but really most any of the x58 boards will get you to 4ghz...im using the dfi
T3eH6 board and not the H8 inferno and this thing o/clocks like crazy...you cant find these boards anymoe though...ive personally built 2 systems using the foxconn boards and they worked flawless..o/clocked well but i built them for friends...both run 3.8 but i had both over 4ghz while i was playing with them...only board ive read mixed reviews on is the biostar and i hate to say that as i like biostar....out of the 3 boards ive personally used for my rigs [evga 757,asus p6t se,& dfi H6] all were pretty equal in performance..really depends on the cpu more than the mobo...
that giga looks good though for 2 bills....cant really go wrong with any of the x58 boards...
