Hello, everyone..Purpose of my build is: Video Editing.. Basically I am not sure if i should be paying for options that I won't be using. But if i have to pay more for a "more quality" moboard, so be it.. I am just trying to save money and use it elsewhere.

What i what to get on the MOBO.. I want the noob friend overclocking, and something that would let me do SLI or CFX in the near future. I would like if the new HD700 or GTX600 series. Could or would work on this
**Not necessary**


I just recently purchased this mother board from Micro Center as they had this sale about 1 1/2 weeks ago. You got $80 bucks off on any motherboard.The catch was, that you had to buy a I7 2600k. This is the combo i got

CPU: Intel I7 2600k
Mobo: Asus P8Z68-V (Here is the link from Newegg) basically i paid $99 for the mobo.

Now I notice this board,and this week at Micro Center. if you buy an I7 2006k or I7 2500k. You get $60 bucks of any mother board. So basically this board would cost me $60 bucks. So i save my self $30 that could go elsewhere.

2nd Mobo: ASUS P8Z68-V LX

MY QUESTIONS GUYS:

Can someone please tell me the difference about this two?
Are they any good and reliable ?
Can I SLI or CFX?

here is the link from newegg to other boards. I am not an Asus Fan however do like their EZ(Noob overclocking one button thing). But i am open to any other manufacture.
Thanks

So basically I should stick with the Asus P8Z68-V..

Do you think there is any need for me to step onto the Pro, Deluxe,or the Maximus? I mean dual SLI is pro the highest i will go and I will be using the Noob overclock feature.

Thanks GhislainG for the input sir.
