Looking for board need to make a choice

[jp0213x]

Hey I am looking for a good all around board for my new rig I plan to build in the next few months or so. I have a couple of board I am thinking about getting. I will be going with a I7 860. Though I know nothing abou oc ,I will try but I want a board that will make it simple.


Not sure about about evga, this board seems to be packed with features, does anyone recommend a evga? Would have any problems running a single radeon hd card at 16x on a evga that supports sli or does it not matter?

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0317863 I think this supports both.


Also looking at these asus boards but according reviews on the first board it's having problems with a high pitch noises.

Please leave any feed back or suggestions.

Thanks

2nd Asus Board you list doesn't have USB 3 / SATA II. I'd limit my choices to these:

So no opinion on the evga board? I don't care much for usb 3.0 not a deal big deal to me.
