Mobo options

Hi.

I am looking at running a Sandybridge 2500K, XM3 RAM, 750W PSU, 1GB GFX card (to be upgraded to a 480SE) and the following HDD's

40GB WD 7200rpm
2xWD 500GB in RAID
30-40GB SSD for OS
160-180GB SSD for games

What would be a suitable Gigabyte mobo? I am only looking at the B3 revisions, and am stuck between the UD3 and UD4 P67's or maybe a H67 so i dont need a cheap GFX card, then go for a 480SE later.

Would you be planning on overclocking? Remember that the H67 don't provide overclocking ability - for that you need a P67 board.

As above, P8P67 is a solid board, especially if overclocking

I would like a bash at overclocking, so P67 it is.

UD3 or 4 though?

^This, the UD4 is a very good board and at that price a steal.

UD4 for me; a great board.
