Here's Tom's roundup

MSI X58 Pro-E is a good choice
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
A cheaper alternative would be ASRock X58 Extreme

You could opt for an open box option.. Such as this -

I would go with the ASRock X58 Extreme3, as my final choice (since I can't go with the $199.99 ASUS SABERTOOTH X58   )

how about the ud3r its only about $10 more I think I could allot for that

As you noticed, no one listed the UD3R as there are to many related issues with the board. It is no longer a highly recommended board within this forum. I would go with any of the boards listed above or spend the extra cash for at least the ASUS Sabertooth X58.

issues like what? and any good gigabyte boards cause I don't really trust ASUS that much but if you say its good then I guess its good

UD3R -> {known H/W issues; and in general very problematic MOBO} http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/276715-30-x58a-ud3r-r... It's great on paper or in a very simple configuration, but the UD3R appears here too often to be coincidental.

The ASUS P6X58D-E is how the UD3R 'should be' and runs very well!

alright screw the budget is the Asus P6X58D-E better than a sabretooth and pros and cons please  

Single to Dual Card Setup, SABERTOOTH is equal to the P6X58D-E with the better value... IMO

Tri-card setup, the P6X58D-E is the way to go.

uhhhh I just found a nice board as I said screw the budget so its the

ASUS Rampage III Formula do you think its worth the money and cant decide between 2 gtx 460's or 1 gtx580 with room to upgrade in the future

SABERTOOTH X58 vs P6X58D-E the P6X58D-E is 16+2 phase vs 8+2+2 ; so I don't recommend the SABERTOOTH X58. In addition the P6X58D-E supports 3-WAY CF/SLI vs the SABERTOOTH X58 2-WAY.

The Power {Stability} alone justifies the small price difference. I get budget but I too get value and logic.

If you can afford the Rampage III formula, then surely go for it.. Its probably the best X58 board out there..

Ehh, the 'best' i7 1366 MOBO 'currently' available is the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9; it too is the ONLY GA MOBO I can recommend with a straight face.

so bottom line is since the ud9 is too much I should get either the rampage iii formula or the P6X58D-E or the P6X58D Premium right

No point considering the P6X58D Premium.. You can opt for an open box version of the R3F to cut down on the costs..

Thanks will get the p6X58D-E

I agree with the ASUS P6X58D-E, I have 9 running 7/24 since July and zip issues!
