Ive decided on all the components for my new computer, cept motherboard.
Theres just so much to factor in.
I can get 20% off asus and MSI mobos, so im looking for a good one in either of those brands.
NForce II Ultra is the chipset i want. And i will be overclocking a lot.

Any suggestions?

Well, the A7N8X or the K7N2 Delta are your only real choices (within the parameters you've set). Luckily, they're arguably the two best nForce boards out there, so pair up the two, compare the features, and feel free to make a decision based on personal preference since any performance margin between the two will be negligable.

As a reference, my A7N8X is currently running my 2500+ @ 1995MHz (190 x 10.5) with SETI@Home running nonstop in the background. I can boot and run it at 2200MHz (200 x 11), but stability issues eventually made me throttle it back slightly.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I had already been considering the K7NF2 board even comparing it to the DFI LPNFII Ultra i originally wanted.

From personal experience, and from chatting with friends that run stores, ive heard that MSI has a great RMA policy, so i think ill go with that.

I forgot, I can also get Gigabyte at this deal, so the GA-7NNXP is also an option.

So basically im down to the GA-7NNXP vs the K7N2 Ultra.

What do you think?
