Parts Ordered - Just need MOBO and Memory

[12many]

In follow-up to my other posts, I have pretty much all the parts except for the MOBO and memory. I could use some advice on a X58 board and memory.

It is a gaming system, Crossfire planned in future, might over clock when needed, if ever. I buy from newegg

Budget for MoBo is $150 to $300. Memory price - $150 or less.

System bought or decided on so far:

ATI Sapphire 5850 Video Card
Corsair 750 - Crossfire/Cert. power supply
Windows 7 64 bit OS
i7 - 920 processor
2 Sony DVD Burners
500 GB Samsung HHD
Mid-ATX Case - LIAN LI Lancool PC-K58

Thanks.

Thanks.

Assuming I spend the full $300, there is also this ASUS board with usb 3.0 for about the same price.

Which board is better or does it matter?

The HDD drive, DVD burners and PSU just got delivered. Video card gets here next week.

Thanks.

Flip a coin. Asus and Gigabyte are both top-notch manufacturer's. I, personally, prefer Gigabyte, but I use both all the time. I'm currently building a budget PC for my aunt and used an Asus board. My personal machine uses a Gigabyte board.

The $150 memory budget is a bit unblanaced with respect to your other components.
