Same old same old

They're all really good boards. If it were me I'd go for the EVGA though, EVGA's products are top notch.

Given the choice between the two ASUS boards, I'd probably go for the Maximus, but I'd still take that EVGA FTW board over it.
 
Okay. I will get the EVGA then. Would you suggest getting 16GB of ram to go with it? I may get 2x8GB then get 2x8GB next month to max it out too.
 
Yes if you want to get 32GB of RAM in the future go for 2x8GB, saves you time and money in the long run.
 
son of a female dog! something I did not notice jason, the FTW is extended ATX, which my case don't support! :( :( :( :'(

I really do not want to get another board (meaning I really want to get the best I can, eg the FTW). So I might have to either make due with the H61 and get a monitor this month, and get a case and teh FTW next pay. Or I could get a Asus P67 and have an okay to good board and continue on the original plans.

I got it. I think ASUS EXTREME is the better. If you have low money, go for ASUS REVOLUTION.

PS: I would avoid non-B3 motherboard if i were you. There have been history chipset problem on old LGA 1155 motherboard series.
 
Ah... well the Maximus is ATX isn't it? Otherwise the other one will be fine.

Either of those ASUS boards will be good for you.
 
problem being you did not research. The FTW was released after the B3 revision. Meaning they are all B3.

I think and pretty well know that the FTW is better. I really would rather avoid Asus if possible because they are the owners of ASrock and they suck arse so there is a chance that the Asus will have the same issue.
 
If you wanted the FTW you'd need another case, and that's more money. The FTW was the best board there though, too bad it was E-ATX though. :(

Are there any other boards out there which would fit your needs and are not E-ATX or made by ASRock or ASUS?
 
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131714 is ATX. The Extreme 4 P67 is ATX. Actually, here are all of them that do fit what I am looking for (trimmed requirements to SLI support and ATX form factor with P67 and Z68) I have left some out, but the ones on here are the ones I looked at.

that is about it.
 
plans changing. I am grabbing a ipod, a set of headphones (I can't stand the ones that go in ear that come with it) and some RAM.

Motherboard will be a FTW next pay, along with a case to fit it.

so shopping list is as far as I can tell:
everything previously listed
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=26-262-249 These looked good to me visually. Don't know how they work except for a basic scientific understanding, so no clue if they are any count. Basically want good frequency range from a deep bass to a very high soprano range, and of coarse want them to be loud when necessary. As in drown out a bus load of hyper band kids loud.

and a Ipod from our local walmart store. Probably end up with a 8GB as they rarely have anything else. Would that hold a bunch of music? Don't need apps as I do that on my Iphone when necessary. So its use is as a MP3 only.
 
8GB will hold a fair bit of music. How much music are you going to put on it? My phone has a 2GB card and I have just under 200 songs on it and I've only used just under 1GB I think.

What case are you going for? Switch 810?
 
I don't really know how much musik I will put on it. Probably a good amount of the musik I have, so about 450 songs or so.

Case, just whatever happens to catch my eye when I am looking at them.
 
okay. That is all that was worrying me there. Never really had to think about it before because I have always had my musik on a 250+ GB hard drive.

Any opinions on the headphones?
 
I have Sony MDR-XD200s, they're good, not bad at noise dampening, but after a while they can make your head hurt a bit as the top of the headphones are not padded, so get a good pair which have padding at the top definitely.
