So, I am buying the new 6800k from AMD, and I need a motherboard.

I have narrowed it down to the ASRock Fm2A85x Extreme6 or the asus f2a85-v

I will be doing some minor over-clocking (0.5-1GHz) and I will be adding a graphics card later on...

I would really like the cheaper one (Asus F285) but i'm not really sure of the downsides compared with the ASRock.

Thanks in advance...
