I'm looking at this mobo cus i'm building a new rig and this one looks like it'll do what i need it to. I was wondering if anyone uses an XFX mobo for DX10 gaming or if they can tell me why i should or shouldn't be considering this mobo.

The rest of the specs i'm about to order are:

700W PSU
4Gb ddr2 RAM [ocz]
XFX 8800 GTS 512Mb [same brand as the mobo seems like a good decision to me]
q6600
cheap case http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134798/show_product_reviews
cooling fan for the cheap case :P
250Gb HDD
1650x1050 monitor
Vista 64
DVD burner etc etc etc

I'm pretty sure, about 99% sure, about what i'm doing with my setup but i'd thought i'd run it through you guys who know a lot more about this than i do.

You are getting the 512MB 8800 GTS right?Tech_Guy_2

[edited] yes.

Id go with this one if I were you:

It supports faster RAM which would makes it a bit more future proof... plus its just a better motherboard :P

Either way thats a great setup regardless of the which motherboard you pick.

Yes. It's more wise to go with an Intel based motherboard unless you're planning to go SLi.
