Hi, I'm new to the PC building world and I was wondering what are the differences between the ASRock P67 EXTREME4 and the ASRock Fatal1ty P67 PROFESSIONAL?

Is there one easier to OC than the other?

System usage: Gaming, web browsing and movies.

I plan to get another GPU in crossfire eventually.

If you can give me an expert feedback on which MOBO would best fit my needs, it would be greatly appreciated.

Heres my build:

Case
COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1

CPU
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz

GPU
Radeon HD 6950 2Gb (reference)

Ram
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9

PSU
CORSAIR Gaming Series GS800 800W ATX12V v2.3 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified

Thanks in advance

The Fatal1ty just has gold caps, a little better PCIe chip and memory chip, and the ability to change the polling rate on the mouse. A couple extra SATA & USB 3.0 ports.
Functionally, the BIOS is the same.
IMO, and most others I know, there is no way the Fatal1ty is worth the huge price premium so that Wendell can get royalties.
