More Information

I will be getting these components:

Antec 1200 Case
Corsair 1000W PSU
Intel Quad Core Q9450
Club 3D Radeon 4870 X 2 Crossfire
Mushkin 2 x 2Gb, Redline PC2-8000,Dual kit, DDR2 1000MHz (5-5-5-12)
Noctua NH U12P cpu cooler (with an extra Noctua fan on it, so 2 fans)

Should I go for the Asus Rampage Formula X48 or the Gigabyte X48 DQ6 if I will be overclocking to around 3.6ghz or so? Price is not an issue.
