which board would you recommend with these components

Q6600 go stepping, probably run it at 3.6
2x4850 in crossfire
2x620 gig WD blacks in raid 0
the case is a Kandalf LCS so will be nice and cool

my budget is a max of £200

obviously my main use for it is gaming but i am torn between Asus which is what i usually use or Gigabyte...there seems to be a lot of gigabyte fans on here

any way, any help is most appreciated

thx
 
I have been looking at this board....only thing putting me of is the 2x8 for crossfire as opposed to 2x16....would running 2 cards in crossfire ' 2x 8 be better than running just the one card on its own @ 1x 16?...or should i just sell them both and get 1 x 4870

i have also been looking at a GA-x48-ds5 and the Rampage formula 2...are these worth considering....the x48 is obviously 2x16 so better for graphics.....the Rampage has had mixed revues but looks great.

thx
 
OK.....i bought the EP-45 Extreme and put it in my rig yesterday....now having a few problems with it when trying to overclock.....keeps locking up on screen or just restarting.....probably something in the bios that i am not doing right....has anyone got a guide or a link to a guide for overclocking this board...i am use to Asus boards and the bios is different

thx
