[thomas_lay123]

Hello, im thinking of building my own computer and is wondering what would be a good motherboard for gaming and watching videos in 1080p?

What's your CPU?

And your budget?

$100 will do the job, but $350 will do it even better with some 2500K CPU : )

This one will do great+ it will OC nicely. And it has the Z68 chip....

I can tell that the boards of Asus are the best of the best, later on Gigabyte, MSI, Asrock.

Yeah, its gonna work very well for gaming. But you can have your own thread on New Build section.

The $1000 3960X is a terrible idea. It offers virtually nothing over the $600 3930K.
Dominator RAM is likewise too expensive and not better than cheaper alternatives.
The Rampage IV Extreme offers you nothing that far cheaper motherboards don't, as you probably won't be going triple-SLI (am I wrong?). Assuming you're going for the huge triple-slot 680, this motherboard will do you fine at half the price of the Asus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128532
