There is a price difference of about £30 and I was wondering is the cheaper one able to handle overclocking a fx 6300 better than the other one or will they be the same.

I know that the evo comes with e-sata ports and optical port but is that the only advantage this has for an extra £30?

thanks for the responses

if you're overclocking your fx-6300 it doesn't matter, the boards have the required chipset each, I would go for the evo personally because of better caps etc, remember to update the bios before though.
