Motherboard advice please! Help I'm a newbie!

[minijag]

I don't know what motherboard to get. I've been looking at memory compatibility with my Mushkin memory (model 996587).
I'm probably going to end up purchasing an Asus P5Q, or Asus P5Q Pro.
Btoh of those seem to get the most feedback from people running the same type of memory as me and all I really want out of a motherboard is ease of use and compatibility.

Now the question is, will it fit my eVGA 9800 GTX+
This card is friggin huge.
Will anybody with a eVGA 9800 GTX+ tell me what motherboard they use? Or confirm that it does fit inside one of these boards?

- I don't know about the regular P5Q.
- I don't think the P5Q Pro has any issues with any video cards, regardless of size, if you use the first PCIe x16 slot. If you use the second PCIe x16 slot, then I suppose it's possible it'll interfere with the SATA ports.

But make sure your case can fit the card.
