Hey,
So I'm in the process of finding a suitable upgrade for my current rig, I have settled on a 2500k and 8GB ram, however while looking for motherboards I saw that the Asus Sabertooth P67 was on sale for roughly the same price as the board I was looking at. Obviously the sabertooth is P67 whereas the gigabyte is Z77 leaving me more of a future to upgrade however would the asus be a better bet if I was to miss out ivy bridge/haswell ( if thats Z77 compatible ) and jump onto a new socket when it comes out?
Here are the boards in question..

VS
http://www.cclonline.com/product/78337/GA-Z77X-D3H/Motherboards/Gigabyte-GA-Z77X-D3H-Motherboard/MBD0356/ - £103
My Budget is £300 so I have roughly £110 to spend on a motherboard would a different board be better than the two linked?
I'm going to be using it as an eyefinity gaming rig which will sport two 6950's in crossfire soon so crossfire is a must.
Thanks!
