I like how reliable Gigabyte is so overall the GA-990FXA-UD7 would be the best choice however for extreme overclocking it would have to be something from the asus rog series but asus have screwed up a lot of times and their customer service is ********* to the point where im never buying anything from them again.

Yes, thats about right, I remember when I got a DOA gt530 and I called them and they told me to piss off. I called again and they said RMA it. Thats the last of Mr gt530, I got a 6450 from powercolour which which is no longer used. Asus failed me too much

I have a 2nd rig, specs as follows:

AMD FX8350 @4.5ghz (1.375v) + CM Hyper 412Slim (discarded the stock fans and replaced with a Corsair SP Performance fan)

Asus Crosshair V Formula

2x GTX670 SLi

Corsair HX1050

This rig does a lot of ripping, as well as gaming and has never let me down. Asus ROG boards, or the Sabretooth are the boards to look at.

The only motherboards i buy are Asus.

I feel like they're so top notch. (Especially when J.J talks about them.)

 

So i would either go for a 990fx or a Crosshair v formula

My Rig: AMD FX-8350 @ 4.5 Ghz, Corsair H100i, Gigabyte gtx 770 4gb, 8 gb Patriot Viper 2133 mhz, Corsair C70 (Black), EVGA Supernova 750g Modular PSU, Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard, Asus next gen wifi card.
