i really like the color scheme on the faytality.
what is the difference between the progen 3 and the deluxe gen 3?

What is your build? Any upgrades that you plan to add?

The ASROCK is probably the best board there, but any will do great.

The Deluxe board has some extra USB, are better heatsink on the board, and some extra features like that, but nothing real special for the average user.

I am going to get a ivy bridge processor and the nvidia's GTX 680. then might upgrade to get gtx 680 sli.

Yes, all Gen3 motherboards support PCI-E 3.0 and all h67, p67, and z68 boards support Ivy Bridge with the most of a BIOS update.

Ivy Bridge = April 29th for 3570K and 3770K - there's a few others but these are the CPUs you should be considering

Keplar = Maybe first week of April - This will bring competition to AMD - AMD should lower their prices by the month after the release.
