Which motherboard should I choose?!

[Lexxikonn]

Hey guys, building a Sandy Bridge i5 2500K system and I want a good P67 motherboard. Slightly bambooooozled by the amount of choice...

Got up to about £150 to spend on the board, so I want something nice which I can potentially overclock.

I was looking at the Asus P67 Sabertooth or maybe the Asus P8P67... Can you guys give me any help?

Btw, my case is white with blue lighting, so no red motherboards please!

The P8P67 PRO would look the best with a white case and blue lighting because it has a those metallic blue heat sinks and the rest of the board is blue as well. The Sabrethooth wouldn't go to well with the blue lighting in my opinion but I love the sabretooth and if it was me it would be the one i'd go for. Apart from that there is the Gigabyte P67A UD4 which is mainly black but would still go well with a white case and blue lighting. There is also the MSI boards but I personally don't like them and from the reviews I have read they are not as good as the Asus or Gigabyte ones, apart from the Big Bang Marshall which is the only MSI board I would buy.

On my other question, you were also the first to reply, that, good sir, is DEDICATION!

I was torn between the P8P67 Pro and the Sabertooth, I know the Sabertooth is probably a better board, but the P8P67 Pro is oh so sexy and would look so good in my Corsair 600T white...

Might not be able to see the heatsinks though with the NH-D14 in place

If that's what you think then you gota go with the PRO

I doubt they'd be enough difference in them for you to regret your decision if there is any at all.

Then its settled, P8P67 Pro for me! Yay!

The Sabretooth and the PRO are pretty much the same performance wise but I just love the Sabretooth, but yeh, I think the PRO would be the best for your setup.

I love those blue heatsinks but the D14 does hide them. The asus on the p67 heatsink lights up blue as well, but unfortunately that then gets hidden by a decent length graphics card. Even though they don't perform that well I've considered going for one of the corsair H range, just so that I can show off the motherboard.
