I'm looking to buy one of the DFI Dark series boards off newegg and was wondering which would be better to pair my q9450 with, the x38 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136051
or the x48
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136047
versions of this board. I plan to OC to 3.2 and i would like to crossfire two 4870 in the future, which is why im looking at the x38/x48 chipset.
Also here is the rest of my planned system
Ati 4870 HD

G.SKILL PC6400 2x2GB

ZEROtherm ZEN FZ120

Antec 900 - i know its a bit overdone but i like the "mod-a-bility" and airflow of it, after a few holes for wiring and paint job it is one slick case
(im sure you all know what it looks like so no link)
Antec True Power Quattro 850
