I've dealt mostly with ASUS boards before and I used an AsRock on my stepson's pc and haven't any probs with it so far. I'll be putting a 2600k in it. So which would you guys suggest? I haven't used gigabyte before and I'm not sure about MSI. Convince me to go gigabyte and I might give them a shot, otherwise it's down to these 2.

I use asus. my son did use gigabyte mobo.2 times and both mobo intel and amd last about 2 or 4 month. for your question both asus and asrock are good. never got problem with one or the other.

I went with the AsRock board. Got it yesterday but I won't have time to do the install until tomorrow night or Friday. It pains me to have to wait....

P8P67 Pro has some strange issues and a history of randomly killing CPUs for no reason. Good choice on the Asrock.

Weird, I've never heard that. I have an MSI P67A-G43 and an Asus P8Z68-V, and between the two of them and 5 different I5's and i7's at ~5GHz, never an issue.
