I just purchased a second 3930k CPU, and I'm starting to look for a MB for it. The system will mainly be used as a cruncher rig, with gaming and school work as a secondary use. I do plan to OC the CPU to at least 4.3ghz (seems to be the "sweet spot" for the 3930k). I don't have a really big preference in motherboard brands. I'm not interested in a mATX board. Money isn't a huge issue, so long as what I get is worth the cost.
So, if you were to buy a X79 motherboard to pair with a 3930k for what I mentioned above, which board would it be?
I currently considering getting a Sabertooth, but I'm curious if there may be a better choice.
