Hello, I'm pretty new around building PC's, so I don't know a lot about motherboards, graphics, etc.. I'm building a PC from the ground up, for gaming, and I got a little question, what motherboard is better:

1). Z68XP-UD4
2). Z68X-UD5-B3

What mobo will be better for:

A). Overclocking (CPU, Video card)
B). SLI\Crossfire mode
C). What mobo got better features

Why am I asking this? because I want to generally know whats better, and, I'm on a budget...

If you need to know what components I'm getting besides the mobo, click on the spoiler.
CPU: i7 2600k
Cooling: Scythe Ninja 3
Memory: 4X4GB Corsair Vengeance White Low Profile
HDD: WD 500GB Caviar Black
Video card: Gigabyte GTX 580 3GB (Planing to get the second one in a few months)
PSU: Antec High Currebt Gamer 900w
Case: Cooler Master HAF 922

Thanks for your help :D

Mhm, UD4 is a little better than the UD5, but is the B3 (Fixed SATA) applies on the Z68XP-UD4 too?...

And one more question, is the p8z68-v PRO Gen3 better/same/worse than the Z68XP-UD4...?

Mhm.....
So, the ASUS mobo for me :D

Ohh, and the PCI-E 3.0, will it run the gt 580 3GB better than the normal PCI-E 2.0 (The price range between tham isn't so high, but I'm on a budget ... xD)
