Best overall asus, Second DS3 for over clocking, Third DS4.... to me DS4 still best value for money with 6300 or 6400 if u want big power supply and firewire.

which asus board , and in what way is it better than ds3?

Asus - Better, in theory for 6600 and 6700's, Loadsa features and rock stable through proven overclocks.

Obviosly the DS3 is more affordable, and just as capable in performance. Prefers again in theory 6300 and 6400's.

The asus is the Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi

Why suggest that mobo when he wants a 6300 or 6400?

Its common knowledge trhat the 975 chipset is better for the 4mb conroes E6600 etc.

And the 965 chipset for the 6300 and 6400

If getting a 6300 just get a DS3 for 100 quid and have done with it.
