I'm getting tired of my current board, time for something new!

I'll most likely be buying from MSY, so not a huge list to choose from, in fact it narrows down to pretty much these three

P6X58D Premium
Rampage II Gene
GB EX58-UD5

Those are the choices. I'm looking for the best overclocker, and USB3 would definitely be nice. Right now I'm thinking I'll go with the P6X58D

If there's like a stellar board out there that's not on the list then feel free to recommend that instead :)
 
Not sure if it would be the best overclocker, but i definitely like the P6X58D Premium.
 
I already know the options for video cards and cpus :) fear not they ARE on the list.
Only thing I'm not too sure about is the mobo. I mean I know which ones are good etc, but I don't want to buy a UD7 and then find out I should've gone with a P6X58D or vice versa.
 
Why do you want a new board? Just cause you're getting tired of your old one?

I would use that money towards a 980X...
 
As I said above, I've got the cpu and gpu covered lol. I'll be getting the i7 980X and it's a tossup between two GTX 480's or two 5970s for the GPUs (most likely depending on the availability here)

So. I need a mobo recommendation

Actually I just realised that the 980 probably knocks a few more mobos off the board. 32nm support is needed.
 
I would go with the P6X58D Premium.

While the 980X sounds cool, 6 cores and all, the price just isn't worth it. I have yet to find anything my 920 can't dominate. Or are you trying to steal my Kingdom :D
