The 1st one is better due to it's SB750. It MASSIVELY increases the overclocking of Phenom chips over the older SB600.

I believe this board is better -
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813136057 It has the newer SB750 which I believe is much better for phenoms. I honestly don't know why the other one is more expensive yet worse though

So the 2nd one is more for LAN party's? I assume that is not necissarily a good thing for a home build right?

As for the 2nd board being more expensive, it's because it's a UT, and the 1st board is a Dark. The Dark line is cheaper, in general, than the UT series. However, I don't think they have yet released a UT 790FX / SB750 board, so that one is their current "top of the line" board, even though some of the "lower end" boards have better features. When there is a UT 790FX / SB750 board, they will most likely discontinue the 790FX / SB600 board. So, get the Dark board. It's better overall, and the DK series still gets great overclocks. There's no advantage or disadvantage to it being a "LAN Party" board, it's just the way they name most of their boards.

Going Broke Overclocking

This should help you to learn what the chip does
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southbridge_(computing) Basically, the MB manages the RAM and Vid South Bridge or SB as we say, deals with the other devices.

Everyone, GET Folding, it is important no matter how much you contribute Phenom II should be called Ph II, not a P II because it isn't an old Intel
