Can you explain why the second is better? I'm going to buy components in the next day or two and I was planning on buying the first one the OP said he was considering. I'm still pretty new to this, but from my *limited* point of view, the eVGA has a more recent chipset while the ASUS has higher fsb capabilities. That's the only real difference I see. Is the ASUS really superior on that alone or am I overlooking something?Zimmer wrote:
Second one wins. Badly.

I wouldn't care about the accessories tbh. Get that board, download it's drivers and voilaPoseidon wrote:

Which means I'll have to go out looking for all the cables and everything.
I'm gonna go with that EVGA. It looks reliable and like I said has awesome reviews.
First one. Last 3 ASUS boards I bought (I used to be an all-ASUS guy) burning out in under 3 months without overclocking. The customer service was awful. The BIOS was awful. EVGA has awesome support and are friendly, helpful, and speak English...Poseidon wrote:
Yeah, that's what I had when I had my AMD.
Now I'm down to these two:

I feel like I need to flip a coin...I just don't wanna make a bad choice.
Then you'll need to buy SATA cables, FDD cables IDE cables, the other USB bracket...........cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:

meh, a hundred bucks difference. With overclocking and gaming, the electric bill will even it up to the current price. The price of the E6600 is still good. If he wants to buy it now, let it be. If I wanted to get an E6600 right now I wouldn't mind paying the current price.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:
