Which motherboard should I get?

[joejccva]

Building a new rig strictly for gaming.

This is what I've added to my wishlist so far:

CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16819115202

RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16820145206

Video - (2 of these for Crossfire) http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814121291

PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817371009

Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16811144205

HD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136322


Now for the motherboard I was looking at this to support my quad core 2.66 with the dual ATI 4870's, but wanted some advice.

Is this a good motherboard? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128361


Please tell me what parts or what motherboard you would use instead for gaming performance. Don't really plan on overclocking, not yet atleast.

I have about $2200 to spend.

Thanks!

I asked the same question from a guy on the XS forums who has that exact board and he said he should of went with the UD5. If you plan on h20 cooling it, make sure you use the same metals, don't mix aluminum with copper... ask Aigo about that. I'm in the same boat and I'm almost ready to push the submit order button on the UD5...

I'm not doing watercooling though, just air cooling.

Can I go with the EXTREME or still go UD5?
