I'm using the A7V, but if I were to go shopping for a board today then I'll probably get the MSI board. It's cheaper and probably more stable, and reliable than the Asus, not that I have any problem with my Asus board. I've had this board for quite some time now and never have any problem with. My comp stays on 24/7 and it never crashed on me. Do a search on MSI and see what you can come up with since I don't remember the model# myself.
