P6T Questions

[Guardian01]

I'm in the market for a new mobo, building my first computer. I've been having problems with my p5k for too long.

I've been researching and Asus P6T seems to be a good choice. I have a question before I make a commitment.

There is the Asus P6T (posted above), Asus P6T SE, and Asus P6T Deluxe. I've seen the differences in specs, but not computer savvy enough to know the differences in between them. which one is the best?

Please feel free to suggest another motherboard if you feel they would be better. This computer is intended to run resource intensive video games, as well as autoCAD and revit renderings. I'm expecting to purchase the i7 cpu. I'm confident I want to jump to ddr3 with at least 8 gigs of ram. I'm expecting to run Windows 7. I plan to learn to overclock. I'd like to salvage what I can from my old build (specs in sig) but I'm probably getting a ATI graphics card so it's almost a brand new setup.

Thanks for your help in advance

I really like the p6t deluxe it has a better cooler and an option to add a 40-mm fan to the northbridge.
My friend is using the p6t se (no sli) and he does video and website work and the board works amazingly well for him. I'm sure there;s some other differences but both are great boards.
How much are you looking to spend on a board?

I'd say <$300, but I'm willing to bend that rule if there's a good reason
