Hi guys..
basically i put an order for my new pc parts couple of days ago, but unfortunately the asus board I ordered has been recalled and OcUK cant ship it to me, so I asked them to ship me the rest of the parts.
So on tuesday i will have everything but no boardddd..

I dont know which revised board i should get, or I have to wait for a while ?
currently the case I ordered is CM Elite 342, then i5 2500k and a 6950,
it would be great if anyone could give me some advice

Thanks so much!!

Depends....

on what the one you wanted was and what your budget was.

£150 gets you p8p67 pro and you can have it now.

Personally as someone who is yet to take the plunge and so don't have any redundant kit hanging around, I'm waiting for a GD55 with b3 stepping for what should prove to be about £110. Looks like maybe the boards that a re leaking out first with the revised chipsets are the high end models, how convenient.

Looks like wishful thinking tbh, not a huge number were under £100 to start with and the B3 versions have gone up. Couple that with OCUK's mATX range being tiny and you have to both wait and go elsewhere.
Hopefully some of the yet to be released models will make their way to the shelves soon.
