Hey I'm just getting a motherboard for my computer, it's a gaming computer, has an i5-2500k, probably looking to do crossfire in the future and maybe a bit of OCing, I just need a hand choosing between these two motherboards:

ASRock Z68 Extreme4 (I can get it for 115-120 with 2.5 years warranty)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16813157250

and

Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 (I can get it for 100 with about 2 years warranty)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...82E16813128494

Just wondering what you guys think is a better buy, the Gigabyte wouldn't have the receipt included but I was told by the seller I'd be able to RMA it with just the serial number on the board itself (is this true? if not I'll stick with the other board).

Hey I appreciate the reply but I can only choose between the two listed, and the one you recommended would cost 60-80 dollars more... any thoughts on the two I have posted?

Gigabyte. Heard bad stuff about the Asrock z68 Extreme boards. Like the BIOS deciding to go crazy and not accept your settings.

Alright thanks for the reply, the gigabyte one is 20 dollars cheaper, and seems to have all the same features so I suppose Gigabyte it is :D
