DFI RDX200 or A8R32-MVP Deluxe???

Alright guys, I'm getting ready to order the parts for my new PC. I'm trying to decide on a motherboard for my rig. I know the new A8R32-MVP Deluxe just came out and I've read good and bad reviews everywhere. I originally wanted the DFI RDX200 CF-DR, and I'm wondering if it would be worth the money go for the Asus mobo. Here's the relevant specs on the parts I'm ordering:

FX-60 (unclocked multiplier... gonna OC to 3.7ghz on water cooling... HELLLLL yeah)
2GB OCZ PC3200 Titanium series
Dual X1900XT in Crossfire
Enermax Liberty 620
1x Raptor 150gb
2x Caviar RE16 400gb

Thanks guys. And I'm definitely open to any other suggestions.
 
I'd stick with the Asus mobo, since DFI I hear has problems with Sair and other name brand memory.

are you sure you can hit 3.7 GHz? Athlon FX are incredibly hard to OC.

I also recommend just getting 1 x1900 card, two might be overkill, what are you using it for?
 
Just wait couple more days for the DFI LANParty UT CFX320-DR, it's base on the new RD580 chipset! I'm waiting for the same board. 😀
 
dfi boards have been all but good to me. they have too many instability problems and DFI is a 2nd tier motherboard company. bad customer service and i will be rmaing mine for the asus a8r32 mvp deluxe. if you like bsod's then get the dfi
 
what else is this new dfi board supposed to improve on? If one wants to OC, are there better options than dfi? I know they give you a lot of customizability, but how much do you really need just for oc'ing.
 
^finally someone said it!

I like dfi's for certain things, but if those things can be accomplished with less buggy boards... sweet. is this new chipset supposed to smoke?
