PRITHIVE...the boards i am refering to by asus are not low end boards, and im not looking to get a old socket 1366 board either, and be stuck on 1st gen i series cpu's..? are you serious? iether re read my post, or work on your understanding of english. not meaning to be rude, but your entire reply has no relation to this thread, since im not looking for a 1366 socket since i already have the 3770k, and the asus boards are in the higher end quality form asus. all of which is noted in my post...thanks for your attempt to help though. and just so everyone knows, the asus maximus v gene board is great, other than 1 thing...the msata is only sata 2, not 3 like the video i watched says. my 256gig msata ssd is sata 6 thats supposed to get 550mbs, but when using the msata slot, i only get around 280mbs. i have a sata adaptor for it, and when i use that and plug it into a sata 6 port, i get 546mbs, but i think ill just keep it in the msata port. its cleaner this way, and it mounted right to the board, so i like that feature. and i decided to get the sabertooth boad for my customer. that should be a good board as well. thanks for your help guys, and im stil open to opinions and thoughts. i also just ordered 2 x gtx 670 4gig cards ill be sure to post some pics of both builds, and i will set one up in sli to do some bench marks, and hopefully take over the 3dmark 11 thread....
