Anyway, I still say go for i5 since you don't need an i7, I seem cheap to talk since I have one. But I only bought it cause i5 wasn't out yet. HT is been wasted on me.
Shh BC2 runs better with HT on

Where do you see that, Sir?

Looks like I'm going to manage to get this stuff (or at least mobo + ram) in a few weeks

I just really need to know what motherboard to get, I know what ram and CPU I'm going for, just need a definitive answer on the motherboard. Around about £150, could stretch to £200 if need be.

Is it worth spending that bit extra to get one with Sata 6Gbps and USB3?

As long as you get an SSD, I'd assume.

I'll probably get one of them along the line

Then go for it. You don't upgrade your MoBo regularly enough to think about getting it when you need it.

mobo's must hit a sweet spot. it's the backbone of your system.

Funnily enough I was looking at this one already. Can someone else recommend it?

That one is, but the other one he recommended was fine.

Do you get 1366 mobos with sata 6gbps and usb 3?

I don't know. I just built 2 machines with the i7 920 and the P6T X58. I like it fine. This is the one I got:

So far the only applications I've seen with USB 3.0 are ridiculously expensive, but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't go down in the near future.

I think that's the motherboard I'm inclined towards atm, but with the 930

Right, with Cybargs's help, I've narrowed it down to this.

Or should I get one of the USB 3.0/SATA 6Gbps mobos?

Regular P6T will be fine.

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Would it make sense buying a future proofed mobo? I'd hate to buy a P6T, and in 3 months mobos with usb 3 and sata 6 come out right left and centre.

USB 3.0 and SATA 6GBps are just gimmicks atm. USB 2.0 and SATA 3GBps are serving me fine
