Opinion for q9450

[luvthisstuf]

I've been checking out motherboards for the q9450 and just want to know what people think of the Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R I don't want to spend more than $150. I've been going back and forth between Asus and Gigabyte. I don't plan on doing any overclocking but I want the PC to run as cool and quiet as possible. I currently have a Corsair 620HTX for a power supply and Crucial Ballistix 2GB DDR2 800. I also want to do raid 5
Thank you for the help

That is a nice board for the price, and i would recommend it.

However, if you are doing something substantial for a RAID5 you would be better off with a dedicated controller.
