i'm planning on buying a new setup really soon. i need to keep the price down and i've narrowed it to these three mobos. question is do ya'll recommend one over the other two? the difference in price is a few cents, so thats not a problem. keep in mind that these are the non raid versions, since i dont need raid (cant afford raid is more like it).

edit:
ok, screw the gigabyte board,. i cant really afford the kx7, so that one's out too. right now i'm looking at the refurb section of newegg, and i see the kt3-ultra (not v2) and the 8k3a. they seem to be pretty equal ('cept for anantech reporting that the kt3 is stable with all mem slots populated, but the epox can only hold two stably at aggressive timings). anyone have positive or negative comments about these two boards? personal experience with each board a plus!

Epox 8K3AE or the even better but only slightly more 8K5A2. As was previously mentioned, avoid the Gigasuck board...
