Unless you will be going Sli at some point then steer clear and get a Intel P45 based board. Nvidia chipset boards are not very good these days and at best are very buggy.

What mobo would you get then?

Hey

Thanks for advice

What mobo would you get for the same price as the one i mentioned at the top?

Many thanks

Either the Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3L or pay the extra tenner and get the excellent Asus P5Q Pro on this week only.

Asus P5Q Pro or Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3 (better if u want to OC a dual core; drawback 1 GPU slot so no xfire). if you want to xfire best get a x38/48 then since P45 at best at 2x8 and not 2x16

He wanted one for around £91 which is why i recommended the DS3L.
