P67 motherboard

[PhantomTrooper]

Trying to pick a motherboard for my new 1155 build, and I have questions...

1. Should I go with Z68 instead of P67? There doesn't seem to be much difference to me. I will have a 40gb SSD that Windows will be on. I have a discrete graphics card.

2. What motherboard do you guys recommend? I'm a computing major so this thing will be used for almost anything imaginable. I am using a core-i7 2600k processor. I was thinking of the EVGA p67 SLI motherboard.


Please critique as necessary and respond ASAP, I'm super anxious to get this machine :biggrin:

Another possibility is the Asrock p67 Extreme4

If the OS is going to be Windows 7, I'd go with at least 60Gb for the SSD, just to get a little more breathing room.

I was going to get that EVGA board, and hope you have good luck with it. I had it on backorder for over two months and got tired of waiting, but your timing is better than mine.
