ASRock is good stuff. I had one of their boards from a while back and it was easy to OC' and had tones of good features for a budget board.

im thinking of going MSI too. or AsRock, their 990fx series is pretty sweet and cheap.

I dislike their bios most of the time, but I haven't dealt with any bad board personally. We use them exclusively at work but I personally prefer MSI. Better customer support and the prices are a bit better for boards with the same specs.

so you have had bad luck with asus boards as well?
