The DQ6 is way overkill, get a DS3 or DS4 motherboard which are cheaper and have similar feature lists.

an "overkill" is when a component as features that you don't need / wouldn't use hence you pay more money for nothing more

If you can get the DQ6 cheaper than a DS3 you should definitely do so. That board has a 3 year warranty.
