Hmm, I'm choosing an x58 motherboard. I've got the motherboard narrowed down to the Asus P6T or the EVGA mobo. They are just about identical in features, from what I researched. Let me know if I'm wrong there. The EVGA has 1 more SATA header, and it also has a CMOS reset button. I won't be OCing right off the bat, but it's something I am taking into consideration when it comes to OCing features. Also looked like the ASUS mobo had a real RAID controller on it.
Also, I would assume that if you were to use 1 GTX 285 in either of the boards, the PCIe x1 will be blocked say for a sound card?
Right now I can get a good combo deal with the EVGA mobo and GTX285 SSC. I like the warranty and 24/7 tech support that EVGA offers. I suppose I void the warranty when I start OCing?

What do you think?
P.S. I just noticed that the EVGA board has 2 more USB ports on the back than the Asus board. Thought that was worth mentioning.
