No specific reason I chose that motherboard to be honest, I was just under the impression it was a good board, especially for overclocking, from what I have read on the forum and in reviews etc. I don't need Crossfire/SLI as I won't be running more than one graphics card any time soon.

Is there anything better than the Crosshair? As I said, I don't need Crossfire so if theres something better with only one PCI-Express port then thats fine.

I would get this board :

Its an amazing board performance wise and the price is fantastic, some really good reviews for it, also has up to date features like SATA3 6Gb/s so if you wanted to get a ssd that supports this would be a good gain

You got your answer, and its yes you will see a big difference and it goes without saying.

Would I be better of getting a H67 mobo with stock cpu speed & getting use of the quick sync then instead of a P67 and the ability to overclock?

I did say the following in post 9:

"If you really need to get a new setup now then get the cheapest H67 motherboard and use this for the time being. Then when you need to overclock get a Z68 motherboard."

ah sorry, must have missed that! Or you edited it before I got chance to read it.

Thanks for the advise anyway
