Ok, im pretty new to all this, i want to build a real nice gaming machine for clan based gaming.. now the budget isnt endless however its large enough that should i get a decent performance increase from a more expensive item i will buy it.

Original build was with

i5 720 , 5850 and 4 gb of ram

now im looking at possibly the
i7 , 5850 and 6gb of ram, however ive not a clue what mobo to get.

I cant really see the diffrence between £80 mobos and £180. Is there any reason to go for a more expensive one with a gaming machine or is it overkill..

Also if anybody could reccomend , im learning , please dont shoot.
 
i was in your position and went for asus p6t SE

dunno if i made the right decision all i could see between the SE and deluxe V2 was power phases

[and nvidia sli support between the SE and non SE version]
