I have to decide on which motherboard to buy. I always used MSI and never had a problem but now I am using another provide and they don't have MSI mobos.

I found these two at a great price:

ASUS P8P67-M
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3-B3


I use the computer to work (a lot of web surfing and programming, I use several VMs opened at the same time). I also wants to play bf3 sometime, but I don't do any OCing.

Which motherboard would you pick? It will go with an i5 2500K with 16GB RAM.

I've heard a lot of bad things about gigabyte mobos, like restarting loop after a few months of use. That's why I am still not sure. I've used an ASUS motherboard for 4 years without a problem.

I decided to go with this one:

GA-P67A-UD4-B3

Do you think it will work well with these other parts?

i5 2500k
16gb ram (4x4) DDR3 1600MHz GSKILL SNIPER
1TB SATA3 WD Caviar Black 64MB
ATI Radeon HD 6950 1024MB DDR5
