I'm going to be building a new computer before much longer. Definately be using an AMD 64 cpu haven't decided on exactly which yet. However looking around at the motherboards and was going to ask opinions about two of them.

What about the Epox 9NPA+ SLI - great board and costs less. How much build experience do you have? OCing?

I am decent at putting a computer together, but have no OC experience at all. Just fixing to have roughly $4,000 that I can spend on putting together a new computer. So I figured I would go ahead and move up to a 64 bit AMD, probably won't actually use SLI at first however I want it available on the motherboard.

The DFI boards are very difficult to get running right due to the aheer amount of options in the BIOS. The only real advantage it has over the Epox is Vdimm up to 3.6V and you don't need that. With your experience level I recommend the Epox board.
