Need help choosing a motherboard!

[Woomera]

Im building a new pc for my causing and im planning on buying a AMD X2 5200+ and i was wondering between these 2 mother boards: DFI INFINITY NF570-M2/G and GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4.the price is the same just wanted to see if i go with giga or dfi.

and also does nForce 590 worth 35$ extra payment over nForce 570? GIGABYTE GA-M59SLI-S5

Although I'm a Gigabyte fan, in this instance I'd go with DFI. Just my 2 cents...

never had a gigabyte board, id say go with the DFI board. i was always a big asus fan then alot of people here recommended the dfi nf4 ultra-d and i love it.

no point in getting the 590 unless you are going SLI with 2x800gts's. both pci-e slots are x16 for 590.

this here would be a good option if you don't care about SLI at all.

When you buy the DFI, buy it with a new chipset cooler; the one it has now is noisy and needs to replaced in 6 to 12 months any way.

The ASUS ripken linked doesn´t have the firewire and digital out, so think about that if you need it.

The GigaByte is nice, but indeed I would go with the GA-M59SLI-S5 with the nForce590, especialy when you OC it.

If you like the ones from DFI the LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G is a good choice and OCes like 5% better then the Gigabyte, also is has a good chipset fan unlike the INFINITY NF570-M2/G. Abit FATAL1TY AN9 32X would be the best for OCing, but it could be more noise; it has 2 4cm fans on it.
