Hey guys, finishing up the list for my current build but have been stressing out over which motherboard to get.

I would like one that's sub 200 dollars, Crossfire/SLI support and has a LGA 1155 socket. I have no real brand preference but am the type that is very weary of semi-unknown brands. Also, I'm in the US so newegg/amazon links preferred

My current candidate is the Asus Sabertooth P67 but I'm not dead set on it...

Thankyou for any input!

Additional information:

My computer specs will be:

i5 2600k

x2 6950's

1 TB WD 7200RPM 64Mb Cache

HAF X (may be a little overkill, but I love a cold system...)

16 GB RAM

Corsair TX 750W PSU
---------------------------------------------------

Thanks again for any input!
 
ASUS SABERTOOTH P67 is a good mobo. no doubt
ive sticked with ASUS ever since my first motherboard that ive ever purchased, and i'd never look nowhere else but for ASUS.

you should get it :)
 
^ Lately ASUS has had some support issues so they are currently less preferred than Gigabyte which is about the same quality product itself. But what is this going to be used for as not much at all will benefit from 16gb's of ram, and if it is for gaming a single better card is better unless it is for the 3+ monitors, since many games have issues using dual gpus. Also for the hdd look at Bestbuy, last i looked their prices hadn't jumped yet, although idk if Amazon's have yet.

That motherboard does look pretty enticing, I'll def. have to do some more research before I buy it though.

And to jonnyp11, firstly the 16GB was what I originally decided on but changed my build to have 8GB (also realized it may be overkill, and on a semi-budget). Also, I will be using the rig for gaming, photo editing/flash animation, video (screen) capture, and some light -> HD video editing. I would like to start messing around with 3D animation. Also, with regards to the video cards I'm first getting 1 monitor and 1 GPU, then getting 2 more monitors. if I dislike that I'll stick with 1 GPU and 1 monitor, if I dig the triple monitor I'll keep the other 2 and get a second GPU.

Thanks to both of you though, I'll 100% look into the Motherboard, thanks guys!
