The EVGA FTW also looks good for me cuz i like more pci-e and it's have 5.
The asus mobo's are rise again specially the IV extreme i see it almost in all tests right now.
MSI, wow what can i say, i see it's MSI mobo's time like gigabyte when P45 release, i guess MSI big bang Xpower II it's top of the line.
