What motherboard fits i7 the best?

[ParadoxEmpire]

I Think The Title Is Self-Indicative, I'm Going For A New I7 CPU And I Wonder What Motherboard Should I Get. Money Is Not A Problem For The Motherboard, And For The Graphic Card I Hesitate Between A GTX 260 Or 280. Here I Hesitate Between Money Or Performance!

Thanks.

I'd personally recommend the eVGA X58 as everything seems to be placed well, makes overclocking a breeze, and has plenty of SATA and USB ports.

Ok Thanks. And What About The Video Card?

Read tom's reviews. They covered both the video cards and the i7 motherboards already.

i went with the gigabyte x58 extreme its got copious ammounts of cooling and programs / bios settings for overcolcking, i almost went with the evga till i heard about all the problems with them & it only had 2 pcie16 slots. its got a set of ports for water cooling tubes rite on the chipset and an optional heat sink attachment that vents out the 1st expansion slot. check out the post i did w/ pic's like 5 mins ago and youll see what im talking about
