Ok.. I kind of want everything with this board. I want the ability to upgrade in the future, the ability to OC, and the ability to do SLI (because you can't have crossfire and SLI abilities on the same board, right?)
Last time I built a comp, people barely even cared about the chipset (now more correctly called the "north bridge") and there wasn't even a south bridge to worry about.
I've been looking into the Gigabytes, but only one has 2 PCIE x16 slots, and the comments were that the board had a lot of problems ( GIGABYTE GA-965P-DQ6 ), and yet they also say the gigabyte boards are best for OCing...
Right now, the board choice is a pretty big hangup for me.
