If this is for a gaming build then this one down below that has those PCI-E 3.0 slots for Ivy Bridge.

That board and the board I posted are identical other than the board I posted is the new and revised edition with those PCI-E 3.0 slots. It's the same board except Asrock updated it so it's set up for Ivy Bridge due out next April/May. Otherwise there is no difference between those boards. That "Gen3" board just came out less than a month ago.

http://www.asrock.com/microsite/PCIe3/index.html <----- Click that link and then click "Overview" at the top of that page to see what I'm talking about.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/index.asp?s=1155 <------ All the boards on that link that have Gen3 next to their name are the new boards Asrock just put out on the market.

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P67%20Extreme4%20Gen3 <----- That's the board I linked

http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P67%20Extreme4 <----- That's the board you linked...same boards other than the black color scheme and the PCI-E slots.
