What are the prices on all 3 of those? I have the eVGA 680i and I love it, tons of great features and great overclocking ability.

the asus and evga 680i are much more expensive then the other two mobos, but they are very much worth the price jump (well at least the evga 680i is)

Any of those will do great. It all depends on what features you want, and how much you wish to spend.

Sorry Beast, I totally forgot the ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, i just remembered to put it in right after, then i didnt

I know the eVga is an excellent OCer, but i have heard about some of the SATA and RAID problems that it has, which is what I am worried about. Does anyone know the exact problems so I know what to expect and avoid?

I run a SATAII 320GB hard drive with absolutely no problems.
