Hey everyone!

I am currently planning to overclock my CPU (AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition) in attempt to learn how to overclock future CPUs (Ivy bridge, etc). I was wondering what motherboard i should purchase?
I also have plans to upgrade to a 875W PSU (If this isnt enough however, i would like to know before i purchase, thanks!)

So far i have two boards in mind, http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3
and http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8Z68V_PROGEN3/

Please note i will only be buying from http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf So if anyone would like to suggest another board please make sure it is available from the above store, thanks!

Further info: I also plan to buy the new range of GPUs as they become available sometime next year, and hopefully SLI/Crossfire :)

EDIT: Completely forgot to mention that this board will be primarily used for gaming :whistle:

Ah right, makes sense I guess. Thanks :).
Just to clarify, there isn't any board currently available that supports pcie 3.0, both Intel & and processors, and is a decent for overclocking?

Sorry about the constant bombardment of questions.. I'm just really eager to learn :) so thanks again to everyone who's helped so far.. I really appreciate it :D
