Want to BUY i7 tonight, need MB, please help

[boglwe]

Here is what I have so far:

ATI 5870
2xpatriot Torqx 60gig SSD, will be raid0.
Cooler master HAF (love it from the bottom of my heart)
All kinds of drives and gadgets
Windows 7 pro 64

Here is what I need:
I7, either the 1156 or the 13xx,
MOTHERBOARD. Whatever you think 2 5879's can run and easy OC. you tell me what to get according to your motherboard you think I should get. I am a perfectionist on a retail level, if the board is crap or something silly is overlooked, I send it back and not give that company my money.
Best Memory for the board, I would like to go 6 or 8 gigs, which ever chipset you suggest.


Thanks in advance, and let me know, I will be following all night and then purchase before midnight. If you have suggestions of where to buy cheap right now, let me know as well.

Thanks
Bogs

I like the Asus P6T V2 personally, running 2 machines on it, and built 2 more for friends with it.

eVGA E760. Digital PWM. That's sex.
Or an E758 if you don't want to pay the mucho price premium of a classified.

So, it looks like you are both suggesting 1366 chipset, and that is cool. Is there one with USB 3.0? by any chance?

If you really need usb 3:

If youre going crossfire you will need a mobo that has full 16x pci express lanes thus why everyone is recommending a 1366 mobo.

That is amazing football runner. I think from reading the specs that that DOES have 2x16. Which is perfect. What kind of memory would you recommend with this? I am buying this after you post again.

Gigabyte UDP boards are the best IMO.

Memory speeds have almost no measurable impact on performance. Really. Get cheap stuff, 1333mhz speeds should be plenty and still give you flexibility with overclocking.

Ok, thanks a ton. Then I picked these out. I would like to find a reason to buy these. I do love the LED's on these. So give me a REAL good reason to NOT get them. Otherwise, I am buying right now. Just got a 1000 watt kingwin on sale at newegg. Here is the link to the LED memory from crucial
