Three Asus Mobos - Which do I get?

Combo Deal - 965 140w + ASUS M4A79XTD EVO- $250(A$10R)

The ASUS M4A79XTD EVO = $120
ASUS M4A79T Deluxe = $190

So this is where I need help!

Do I buy the combo deal?

Or go to frys... and buy a 965 125w for the same price sold on newegg & buy an OPENBOX: ASUS M4A79T Deluxe for $120?

Keep in mind the OP:ASUS M4A79T Deluxe = same price as ASUS M4A79XTD EVO.

$315 @ frys for the better 965 + better mobo!

Do I go now? Or what?

and the guy @ frys said the open box obviously has the factory warranty

so is it cool going for that OP deal?

people say its mad risky business getting the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe for $121 at frys

but the $60-70 saved can get me a cooler/ or a storm scout/ or a harddrive / or an optical drive

open box at frys or frys.com? The 125w 965 i would say yes... i know open box at newegg can be hit or miss. You either get accessories with it or not. NOt sure about frys, but i know at frys, they put that sticker on there when you return, whether you use it or not.....
