Well what exactly are you aiming for here? OC'ing? Gaming? You plan on 3-way SLi (or 2-way) ? And what's your budget range?

That giggy board is not a bad board - it handles fairly well. But i of course prefer something like the EVGA Classified 3 (or $-way if i'm aiming for alot of GPU power) or maybe the Asus Sabertooth x58 that packs a punch for a good price.

well im looking to put in 2 GTX 460's in sli, and have scope to possibly add a physx card later on aswell, im on as tight a budget as possible so i was just gonna go with the giga.

I actually recommend the Asus Sabertooth x58 linky hurr~. This board support 2-way SLi + Physx, it's solid & a good OC'er. Nothing Hardcore or extreme but it's a good board x). Not to mention it has a 5 year warranty compared to giggy's 3 year xD.
