Suggest me a motherboard?

[allkindsoftime]

Hey guys, Just needed help on a motherboard. My budget is 200$, of course preferably the least expensive mobo which will sufficiently meet my needs.

Mobo necessities:
-Big enough room to fit a large cpu cooler(tuniq cooler) and not get in the way of any other parts
-Crossfire Enabled, and be able to fit 2 cards
- support i7 950
- easy overclocking features.(overclock newb, this is for a new build)

I would recommended the ASUS SABERTOOTH X58...

I recommend you avoid asus.
Intel or Gigabyte will yield reliability.

any specific mobos I can get?

 

[tecmo34]

I still recommend the ASUS SABERTOOTH X58 at your price range but if you aren't a fan of ASUS, it leaves you the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R as your next best option.

 

[soundguruman]

For one thing, Gigabyte is superior. No comparison.

I happen to like ASUS. Of course, they certainly aren't for newbs. Anyway other than the Sabertooth I like this board

ASRock X58 Extreme 3

Is there a reason your so biased against asus mobos?

ASRock is a good board... Though for $10 more I would go with either Sabertooth or GA-X58A-UD3R (though not my recommendation )

Biased? I don't know that it's bias.
But quality control and customer service is the issue. That's based on actual real world hands on experience. And I will NEVER buy another Asus product.
