I'm looking to do a RAM/CPU/Mobo upgrade. I plan on getting this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820145197 and this CPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6819115041 . I was planning on getting an eVGA 750i, but was recommended to get an ASUS P5Q Pro or a GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R. I can see that these two other motherboards have some better specs, such as a 1600MHz FSB and a faster memory standard, but I don't think I can utilize any of these things. My question is quite simply: What motherboard should I get? SLi is nice, but not entirely necessary. Overclocking is a huge deal for me and the overclockability of the board is a big factor for me. At this point, I'm still leaning a bit towards the 750i due a load features on that board such as the post LED, SLi, general high quality of evga products, and anesthetics. Other motherboard recommendations are by all means welcome too.
