Hey, I'm building a new system for gaming and am not sure on which mobo to buy. The only one's I've really looked at so far are the EVGA 680i and BFG 680i boards. So I'm wondering can anyone recommend a really stable quality board? Because the EVGA board has gotten mixed reviews and I've only seen but haven't read any reviews on the BFG board. Also, I've looked at NewEgg, ZipZoomFly, and TigerDirect for the 680i boards but the only one I've seen in stock is the EVGA board. I've also read up on a few other boards like the ASUS Commando that is coming out soon, So can anyone tell me if theres a good stable 680i board out there or if its better to wait a little while for some of the new boards coming out?

Here are the main components on my new PC I've chosen so far, so if they help in giving me info on a good motherboard:

Thermaltake Armor Case
Intel E6600
BFG 8800GTX
2gigs Corsair DDR2
WD 250g 7200RPM 16MB cache
 
Right now there are only 2 680i boards on the market:
1) Asus
2) All the others, made by nVidia and marketed by EVGA, BFG, etc.

There is also 1 650i board available, the Asus P5N-E.

Since the P965 boards are more mature than those above, they may be easier to get up and running.
