Best Mobo for 6970

[rockandrolldj]

Hello,

I've grown tired of my laptop, and have decided I want to go back to the good old days of desktop PCs. I'm way out of the loop regarding new technologies, and require a little assistance in building my machine.

I have my heart set on this little baby (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-191-XF), but I'm unsure as to what the best mobo would be to compliment the card. I've been looking at the Asus P67 boards (in particular; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-447-AS), but I'd appreciate some more informed opinions before I splash my cash.


Thanks,
rockandrolldj

Link for mobo doesn't seem to be working. Let's try again - hope this works

Welcome to Tom's Forums!

Some of the ASUS P8P67 have sadly had some problems, and if possible I would look at the ASUS P8P67 PRO or P8P67 Deluxe or perhaps the ASUS Z68 e.g. ASUS P8Z68-V PRO.
