which mobo for first build??

[bassljne]

hey people jus found this great site and would like some info, i am wanting to build my first computer as the one i have right now is a bit dated.

I have a few choices in mind and would like to spend about 150 on one:

-XFX 780i

- Asus blitz formula special edition (would love this one but its hard to find places that sell it)

- Asus Maximus Formula (Special Edition)

I would love one of the asus board as it comes with the WC block installed (i plan to WC it) also i intent to do some mild Oc'ing and from the reviews on the asus board it seems pretty easy to do this

so if any of you have information or alternative products please post and let me know, thanks Andy

what cpu are you planning on getting?

I'm guessing either core2 duo or core2 quad, but your choices will differ depending on which one you plan on getting

Unless ur looking to sli, I wouldn`t get an sli board.

Sure they`re good boards, but imo the intel based 35/38 and coming 48 are that much better.
