Hi guys, Looking at ordering some kit tomorro, For my new system

Going for the core i7 920 ..

Which motherboard should i go for, either the

Asus P6T Deluxe Intel X58
OR
Foxconn Renaissance Intel X58

I really like the look of the foxconn, but which would be better for gaming ?

I will probably be using 4 - 6 Gb of Corsair DDR3 XMS3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
or OCZ DDR3 PC3-10666C7 1333MHz Platinum

I love the look of the foxconn, well get up early tomorro and decide before making the order, So hard And i cant wait for the EVGA, as im sittign with no system atm, and my gaming finger is getting *very*itchy

Do you need SLi? If not then buy a fast S775 system and very fast graphics and you'll have a better system. If you want SLi then you may as well buy the cheapest as they all seem one of a kind. Expensive. And that's coming from someone who has a Gigabyte EX-X58-UD5 and a vanilla ASUS P6T, both in boxes waiting for the SLi waterblocks to arrive

I most probably wont be running SLI for a long time... but its there as an upgrade option... I know the basics to gaming pcs... but nothing more. So what you are saying is going right over my head, thats why i need someone to kinda straight talk to me what i should be buying.. and thats why i need advice

Think ill g with the ASUS board, Just watched the tigerdirect youtube review which was very useful, and the board comes with real time overclocking with a supplied program/software, which allows you to overclock easily without having to reboot etc.
