I would guess the Asus only because of the new BIOS. If Gigabyte has something similar I'd say that would be good too.

Not 100% sure but I think the DS3 will get him to 3GHz. So based on that as his target OC number and the mobo's price it would be the better buy. Now if he wants more features and what have you then the more expensive mobos will only provide that. The P5B is getting higher OC numbers though on the FSB.

The P5B Deluxe, right now has the best chance to get a 6300 to 3Ghz without effort. Other boards take some adjustments from what I've read. Voltages, memory timings etc. Asus is a little more straight forward (read: idiot proof).

My recomendation is you are considering a P5B Deluxe and an E6300,,,,,,,

Save $50 and get a DS3 and an E6400 you will defianetly reach 3ghz and save some $$
