I am in the process of building a new desktop for myself. The two motherboards that have caught my eye are the two I link below. My first question is: for someone who is fairly knowledgeable of computer hardware, and moderately interested in over clocking (ei i'll do it, but i'm not trying to do something crazy) which board is a better fit?
2nd question is that the Asus board is designed for ATI video cards. I am not going to run SLI/crossfire, and i see some reviewers are running nvidia cards in this board. are there compatibility issues related to using Rampage board w/ a geforce 280? thanks for the help, any other advice is also appriciated.
