Listed below is the rig I'm throwing together. Tell me which mobo you would choose and why.
CPU - C2Q Q6600 G0
RAM - 4x2GB OCZ Reaper DDR2 800 (might change this to 2x2GB of DDR1066
PSU - PCP&C S75CF 750W
HDD - Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB SATA 3.0
HSF - Xigmatek HDT-S1283
Case - Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower
OS - Vista Home Premium SP1 64 bit System Builders OEM
GPU - Either HD 4870 X2 or I might wait for Nvidia to drop the GTX 295 and get that
Here are the mobos I'm looking at:
MSI P43 Neo3-F LGA 775 Intel P43 $85
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-DS3L $99
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R $120
ASUS P5Q Pro $130
ASUS P5Q Deluxe $189
So which mobo would you choose, and more importantly, why?
This rig is being built for purely for gaming, and I'd like to try and OC the Q6600 to 3.6 if possible.
