With bulldozer looking like a flop, I've decided to upgrade from my 920 @ 3.6ghz to a 2600k.
I have the 2600k ordered (if nci* accepts my pricewatch offer). Have been looking at these 3 mobo's but can't decide (and these 3 primarily because they are currently part of the $10 off promotion at the egg)
ASRock Z68 Extreme4 - $175 after $10 off, free shipping

MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) - $170 after $10 off, free shipping

GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 - $150 after $10 off, free shipping

The parts of the pc I have already:
Raven RV03
16gb g.skill ripjaws
2x adata s511
x-fi titanium hd
gtx 570
xspc rs360 kit to cool the cpu with 6x 1850rpm gentle typhoons (this good enough to cool a 2600k? my first foray into a real water loop)
Thanks! I'm open to any other suggestions as well, though trying to keep the motherboard cost below $200 as splurging on the water cooling kit kind of killed my budget.
