I'm no expert on motherboards, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'd probably go with the P6X58D-E. I don't think it differs much from the Premium, and it overclocks well. I was looking at some reviews a while back for a friend, and it seems the main differences are the lack of an extra ethernet port, an on-board reset button, and a cooling pipe... which doesn't sound worth it to me.

no there is an other big difference between these 2 mobos is that p6x58d-e can't support Intel Turbo Boost Technology.....
and
dude they have mentioned that this board P6X58D-E supports 3 wy sli.....but they didn't mentioned about crossfire....
:-(
is this mobo supports crossfire and crossfirex or 3 way crossfire?

I second the UD3R same board I have and has more options than you need..lol sata 3 usb 3 xfire/sli support 4 x16 slots ( not all run at x16 speeds) tons of options in bios for overclock ( if you plan to do so) and a cmos reset button on the backplate so you don't have to open the case every time while oc'ing
