Question about motherboard sale...

[adrennn]

Normally I was going to get this motherboard

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157265

But today this one is on sale for near the same price

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131702&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL101111&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL101111-_-EMC-101111-Index-_-IntelMotherboards-_-13131702-L03A

What should I do (Deal starts later today for 169)

You should get the Asrock Z68 instead, for the same price.

 

[adrennn]

what is the difference?

I like the ASRock board more out of those two.. if you're going to drop $189 you could get the z68 version of the ASRock board

I would go with an Asus board. Asrock is decent but is the lower end of Asus. I have the x58 Saberthooth and it has been great for me. You might want to consider a z68 chipset as it is newest off them. There is not a huge leap from 67 to 68.

Check this out.

I reinforce you should get the Z68 for that $189

ASRock started off as a low end offshoot, but they have really stepped up their game in recent times.. you get great value for your money with their stuff
