Hi there,
I want to build a new system but everything okay except the mobo. I consider to buy Asus P5Q Pro but I want to know how is Gigabyte mobos performance against Asus P5Q Pro ?

Here the system:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
Sapphire Radeon HD 4850
4 Gb (2x2)Kit 1066MHz DDR2 PC2 8500 Reaper RAM
320GB Seagate 7200.11
Samsung SH-S203B 20x SATA DVD Writer

Now this is my system for gaming of course, and not-overclocking ! maybe CrossFire..

What did you think about it Asus P5Q Pro is good or is there any better Gigabyte mobo ?

Thanks for helping.

I have an EP43-DS3L from Gigabyte and it works pretty good. A motherboard is a motherboard. The EP43-DS3L has a PCI-E 2.0 Slot on it so compared to a SLi or Crossfire board it would perform better that is until you get another card. My Mobo(EP43-DS3L) Is running a OC'd E8400 at 3.6GHz at stock volts so you can overclock without any real know-how. Lan is snappy, Sound is the best out of any Board I've heard, and thats about it. Its a nice simple board that works wonders. I don't have a P5Q but most reviews on them are either really really bad or really really good.
