Hi folks,
I'm building my first gaming rig, and after some thought, I decided to use an i7 3820(Two major reasons being, quad channel memory and the ability to step up to better CPUs in the future).
What I need some help on, is which X79 motherboard to get. I was looking at Asrock, Asus, MSI, etc, but I was getting muddled up in the minutia of it all. So I'm ask the opinions of experienced builders. My only requirements are that I'm looking for a board that overclocks well ATX form factor and that has 8 memory slots. That's all.
