I really need help picking out a 1366 board

[faisaltauqir]

This is first attempt a building a system so I am entirely confused since all of the motherboards look the same but I am wondering which offer better quality and future proof technologies. I am looking at these at the moment. Asus P6T Deluxe V2 , Gigabyte Ex58-UD4p, DFI UTx58. Basically I want a board that will last me 2-3 years and will be a good overclocker for a novice. Everyone at my local Canada Computers (AJAX) have Gigabytes for their i7 builds and they say the reason is price/preformance and the overall build quality of Gigabytes boards which they say Asus lacks both.

asus or giga it's really just the past experience with both. I have had good and bad boards of all of the above. but for a first time overclocker i would say asus little easier to overclock in the bios
JMO.

For a first time clocker, go for the Gigabyte.

[gingerbee]

really why gigabyte charlie3.0? i ask just because i have found asus to be a little more simplified bios then gigabyte over the years. that was my reasoning behind it anywho

Gigabyte has a software OCing program. Which includes auto OCing section that allows you to click one button and restart to overclock. look up easytune 6, that will give you more information.

[gingerbee]

so does asus.

If your into overclocking, I recommend the Asus Rampage 2! It's a bit of a pricey board but, you won't be disappointed with it.
