I am currently located in South Korea, and some revised P67 mobo's have already leaked into the market. The pricing here is different from how it is in the US, so based on these prices which mobo should I get?
I want the best price-performance-features ratio. My main goal is to hit 4.6-4.8ghz on my 2500k/H50 combo using as little power as possible due to how electricity is tiered here.
In this build I will either use a single XFX 5870 or Dual HIS 6850's, but I'm leaning toward the single 5870. The PSU will be a Corsair TX650.
I'll post the prices in US dollars for your convenience:
Biostar TP67XE
$172

Asrock P67 Extreme4

I'm leaning towards the TP67XE. I dont know if the UD3R is worth the $30 price difference since the last intel Gigabyte mobo I had literally blew up. The Asrock Extreme 4 looks good, but again I don't know if it's that great as I dont need 3x PCI-E x16 slots. I personally like MSI as a company since I've never had issues with their boards on the AMD end.
The ASUS P8P67 series is prohibitively expensive based on my budget as they are near the $300 mark.
This is my first major Intel build, so I'm not to up to date on their stuff. I do intend to drop in an Ivy Bridge CPU when they are released.
