I don't wanna get the Rampage 2 Extreme 'cause it's too pricey. I'm not spending £300 on a board. I'd like to spend about £260 or under right now. £270 max. In my opinion the R2E is a rip off. I want a high end board.
The DFI boards look nice, especially this one: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-055-DF&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1283
It's the best one in the list. I suppose I can go around £300 for a high end board then. Oh well.
I am looking at that DFI board (not a fan of that tall northbridge cooler?), also the MSI Eclipse: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-107-MS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1283 OR the EVGA or maybe the latest Gigabyte board?
