Looks pretty solid, but why the Maximus VI Extreme? To me that seems a bit overkill, unless you have some specific reasoning or are getting it super cheap; there are $150 boards that will do the exact same than that $350 board.

I'd probably go with the Gigabyte board (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128617), personally (though I'm an ASRock fan too). I read something recently about Gigabyte motherboards having some of the lowest RMA number among other manufacturers which is a plus.
