I need help with a mobo choice. Which one should I get? This one or This one? Which would best fit this build. RAM=PNY

 

...

 

 

Don't know about "fitting the build", but a brief scan of available reviews showed a much better response on the Fatal1ty (tweaktown: "awesome") vs. the Gaming 3 (xbit: "disappointment"), so I didn't even bother digging deeper.

 

Fatal1ty wrap up: "It is tough to fault this board. At this price point, it is really a fantastic option. The color scheme is fantastic, and with the added software bonus in the bundle, it clearly stands out against the competition boards priced at a similar level."

I would get the Gygabite card. They have similar features, the only things that are better for the gygabite are sli support (just in case) and the better reputation brand.
