Well that really depends on what you'll be using your computer for.. I have the P5W DH and its a great mobo, but somewhat limited for overclocking. The 680i is a better overclocker, but doesnt have all the nifty features the Asus has. If youre just a general user I would recommend the Asus model, if only because I trust Asus mobo's more than EVGA.

The board is too new on the market .
with a little time and a few more bios updates it has the potential to be a great board but I would go for the P5W DH for stability and moderate OC.
If you want higher oc's go for the P5B Deluxe wifi.

Ok will the EVGA board last at least 2 years?? Is it worth buying ri8 away? Or should i wait a bit. I want to buy a board within this month. So should i go for it now? would it be a bit risky?

Just a few years ago socket 478 was was the newest and best intel had in the desktop market.
go for whats available now and something that has a proven record with room for future upgrades(6 months)
just dont skimp if you plan on keeping your rig a few years.
