The P965 DS3 is a very good board. Solid and overclocks very well.

Tho you may want to look at one of the newer P35 DS3 range.

Ive looked around at a few of these and they all look the same. How do you tell the difference between the models?

Their specs are listed on the Gigabyte website.

Things like Crossfire, Firewire, and better VRM are usually the only differences.
