New Motherboard

OK after all this PC trouble crap Tiger now tells me my exchange won't be done until after christmas due to the mobo being on backorder. So, I'm going to order a new mobo from newegg tonight.

I need some advice on which to get.

The current components I have waiting for it are an Intel socket 775 Q6700 CPU, a 9800GTX+ dual slot, and 4 gigs (2x2048) of Corsair ram.

I'm looking for a mobo that would be good for my gaming PC, unfortunately I cannot get an SLI board because my mid-tower will not fit a 12" SLI board.

Help me out if you can :santa:.

Check the voltage and speed of the memory. That may limit the MBs you can use.

This is the one I have my eye on. I can't do SLI like I said, because of the size of my case. Right now, this mobo is looking like my best bet, but I can hardly find any reviews on it.

Don't know how much your willing to pay, but Asus has always had good boards.

I just upgraded my system (built a new one). I went with this board.

I also updated to the new intel i7 quad-core...Very nice.

Just saw your other link...need a micro...looks like a good choice you got there

Unfortunately my budget is pretty much limited under $200. I measured my case. Pretty much any mobo 11.5" and above will not fit.

I have my eye on the 9300 XFX mobo.

From what i'm finding it looks rather newer, I just can't find any damn reviews.

It's for sure better than the one I had sent back, and I can't fit an SLI. Some others gave it the thumbs up so it's ordered. It ain't too expensive either. I'm sure i'll be happy, as long as it gets installed right this time >:O.
