I decided to go for BFG 280 and Q9550 ( planning to oc it to 3.4 with antec 900 and xigma128 )
but I am not sure which mobo I should choose

It seems like many people are using Asus P5Q , P5Q pro

but at neweggs there so many problems with these boards that
it feels like there are 50/50 to chance of getting a defective mobo.

What do you guys think of

BIOSTAR TPower I45 ( over $150, but it seems to offer good OC performance )

Foxconn P45A-S

Is there anyone using these boards?

What other good boards choose I go for?

well i got a GA P45-DS3l and its 99$ on newegg ... good company with P45 chipset, i will not trust biostar anymore, 3 faulty board in 3 ... Foxconn is ok, but i really trust GA
