Default Help me pick my 1366 board

Budget, overclocking, and overall performance.

I cant afford the EVGA classy, thing is over 400 bucks.

The other two I am looking at are:
ASUS P6T Deluxe V2
GA-EX58-UD5

GA is coming out with new boards in January, I cant really wait that long and I am sure they will be super expensive.

These two or something else?
Maybe bloodrage?
has to be sli/crossfire ready.

To be quite honest if you care about boot times i would recommend an evga board. I have the x58 ud5 and i hate how slow it boots thru bios. I have no experience with asus boards however. Other than that if you plan on running sli the asus is your best bet cuz the other boards are meant for tri-sli so in dual card config they are way to close to each other not allowing the top card to breathe properly.

The Asus P6T Deluxe V2 is hardly budget, I would say the P6T is just as good and less expensive as well.

I have the $260-something EVGA E758 3way SLI board.. Love it, no problems, starts up fast, paired with all my other components, an extremely fast pc. Nothing slows it down :P

My friend has the E759 Limited Edition Classified and it's pretty much the same as my board + extra OC'ing features in the bios and FULL 3way x16 sli, other than that it's about the same for double the price.

E758 for the win
