Hi all - doing my research to narrow down to best value.
I want some longevity (hence looking at Sata6 and USB 3.0) and best build quality, also want some ability to play around with Overclocking so want to know if there is any difference between mfrs here.
NOT A GAMER and hoping to use integrated graphics for now. Will want to do some AVCHD video editing in the future but seems to be that IG can handle.
Is Gigabyte, ASRock or ASUS the best or is there any major diffs in build quality/reliability? I'm staying away from Foxconn, Biosystems etc. Looking at things like the following.....

I know there are others using the 890 chipset that are a few bucks more, but seems I don't need that if I'm not likely gaming.....
All of the 3 above seem to have good ratings.....the ASRock and ASUS seem to have eSata onboard and maybe the Gigabyte doesnt.
Any opinions from those with more knowledge/experience than I ?
