Hey guys I'm sure you're tired of people making these threads. But if you're bored enough maybe you might help me.

I'm starting my first FULL build. I have done many many partial builds and upgrades but never a full build.

Its a gaming rig but I'm having trouble choosing a motherboard This is my CPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4
And this is my case:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021

I would like to be able to support 2 GPUs as well as (eventually) 16Gbs of ram. I'm not going to start out with that much however. Also that is a black edition CPU so It would be nice to have overclocker friendly Bios. Thank you guys.

that antec you picked out there does have good air flow but lacks badly in the cable management department.i can recommend you a few cases that would be better for equal/less money.
