MB socket 1155 P or H oriented motherboard

Hey Everyone!


Since the time of Sandy Bridge processors is at the gate I have a Question.


Im intending to custom build a comp for gaming and I can not decide what kind of motherboard to take P or H chipset. Whats the actual diference and which will be better for gaming my MotherBoard budget is around 250€. I dont intend to do much of overcloking but Id like to have a stable and robust MB. Actualy I was looking at GigaByte-s http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3648#ov

So the build would look somthin like this:

MotherBoard: Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD4
Proc: (dunno yet but sandy bridge i7 I presume)
Ram: 8Gb A-data 2000Mhz
G-Card: Nvidia GTX 570
Power Supply: Cooler Master Silent Pro m700 (700w SLI ready - if another gtx 570)
Disk1 WD 500Gb sata III
Disk2 SSD Crucial c300 64Gb sata III

And another question would be; do you recomend a normal casing or a extended one

Thank you for answering my questions.

You are going to have and wait for sandy bridge pricing from your vender. I like having backup graphics, but if you choose a sandy bridge cpu without the graphics onboard, then it won't do you any good. But the H boards tend to be cheaper.
