I've been trying to decide which mobo to get!

I've been going back and forth on the following:

Asus Maximus III Gene
EVGA p55 SLI
Asus P7P55d-e

Anyone suggest one that can run sli/xfire, will have an open pci slot after putting in two gpu cards and is a stable/amazing overclocker?

going to be using an i5 760 and want to push it to 4.0ghz+

My P55 FTW does everything you listed and is a great overclocker.

I should have added that I'd like the board to cost less than 200. This is going to be a budget-ish rig.

what about a GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P?

specs wise it seems like an amazing board, but I've never been a fan of gigabyte. let me google some reviews.

If I were on the market for a new board, I'd get this OB Asus Supercomputer. Has NF200 on it which makes up for the lack of x16 x16 dual GPU setups.

Get the EVGA P55 SLI.

I would LOVE to be in the states, but alas I'm not. So I'm looking at roughly the MSRP price of everything. So no rebates for me =(

What exactly does the NF200 do?

? are you refering to a mobo?

 

[drBlahMan]

Here you are

It has OC recovery since it does not have a clear cmos button and when you're ready for some USB3.0/SATA6G, you can buy THIS later. It has the PLX chip so you will be able to run dual SLI/Crossfire configuration at 8x+8x

noooooooooo

Thanks for all the replies!

I think I'm going to go with the EVGA p55 SLI, I love the specs and in the end, I also love the looks. And since I'm going with an open air case, it'll be something I'll be looking at for quite a bit. Thanks for all the responses!

+1 to EVGA P55 SLi. I love this board! Overclocks easily too!
