I am looking to upgrade my motherboard.
I currently have:

Motherboard - DFI LP UT X58-T3eH8 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel

CPU - Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition Bloomfield 3.33GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor

Video Card - EVGA 017-P3-1297-AR CO-OP Hydro Copper GeForce GTX 295
1792MB 896 (448 x 2)-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support

Memory - (2 sets) Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory

I have been doing some research, but I am finding to much info on the motherboard.
I am not looking for the cheapest board, but a good board.

I am running with a 64bit system. If I have left out any info, I will provided it ASAP.

To put it plainly, what is the best motherboard for my computer?

Thanks for the input.

the great randini said:
lga 1366 is obsolete, x58 was my favorite chipset for that socket.

so are you willing to upgrade the cpu as well? If not there are 7 mobo's to choose from on newegg out of those. the rampage is a better board (Republic of Gamers) but its micro atx and you may have clearance problems with your ram/gpu

ASUS P6X58-E WS LGA

ASUS Rampage III


I spent about $1000 on the CPU. I don't have that kind of money to spend again.
I'll check out your links. Thanks.

both links support sata 6.0 that is somthing missing from your old board so you will see an improvement in data transfer if you have a fast hdd.
none support ide, like your current board so if you hdd or cd/dvd is ide you will need to upgrade.

an Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition should be in a better board, it is being wasted in that thing you have now. i'v never seen that brand before.
