Notes
May need an after market cooler depending on the case used... and the over clock. To get close to the price point, I did make this consession.
The ASUS Rampage Board is also nice, giving the user more Over Clocking features, but there are only 2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 Slots.
The number of PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, and the fact that it hits a price point directly between the other boards suggested, would make this my third choice.
