What motherboard/PSU should I buy

Heres my wishlist for my next computer I narrowed it down to just this, I plan on putting my 460 in this.

Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg

Here are the 2 motherboards I cannot decide over I was wondering what is the better buy?

Newegg.com - ASUS Rampage III Formula LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Newegg.com - MSI Big Bang-XPower LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Also I was wondering if the PSU I picked out is the best decision for this build.

I heard they are going to have embedded DRM that dosent fly with me, I dont pirate but I dont like that software, I seriously went through 2 crysis and mass effects because of it. I would rather buy an AMD.

OK so let me get this straight If I want to backup my movies such as Avatar on my hard drive, I wont be able to? because of DRM protection. I am insulted that they add this to their hardware. No im still not feeling it I need more information on the technology or I simply wont buy it.

The answer I got from Crytek EA when DRM thought my crysis was pirated (which I didnt) was buy another copy.

I'd go for the Asus board. The MSI looks cool, but its price is sitting in the possibility to mix the use of AMD & NVidia cards. Still, the chip works rather poorly, so, if you want more...errr... bang for your buck, pick the Asus.

Wait? The new sandybridge hardware can prevent you from copying DVDs and CDs and the such?

If they do, I would never buy one. Im not ripping DVDs which I have spent money on to make copies of them to sell. I just want to watch a movie on my PC or iPod without having to buy it twice...

I suggest Asus Sabertooth X58.
