Affordable mother

[mzcomp1215]

I am building my own pc & have the intel i7 920 processor. I need some suggestions on a reliable & affordable motherboard. I have been looking into the asus p6t family.

The Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R is a great choice. It's cheap and performs very well. Besides it has a lot of features.

Take a look at this article from this site. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/x58-usb-3.0-sata-6-gbps,review-31887.html

If you can afford the price, the ASUS P6X58D-E is an amazing mobo and it's not much more expensive.

NewEgg has it pretty low on the feedback rating since it seems to have a lot of problems. Any thoughts on the reliability?

I just did a build with the ASUS P6X58D Premium and its been rock solid so far. USB 3.0 and Sata 6 ready. They also have P6X58D-E (+ 1 for Henry Chinaski) with most of the same features for a few bucks less.
