Which board do you think is better

[kwekmiester]

Which board do you think I should choose between these two:

Gigabyte GAP31-DS3L or MSI P35Neo-F IP35

I was planning to buy the MSI board here at a local retailer but after checking their new products I notice that there was a Gigabyte board. I heard Gigabyte boards are excellent overclockers and it is cheaper that the MSI board.
Also I was wondering which chipset is better, the p35 or p31? I'm planning to pair it with a C2D and a decent Nvdia card, im going to overclock too...

Any advice would be appreciated!

I would suggest you go for this board GA-P35C-DS3R gigabtye

I have the GA-P35C-DS3R myself, it's great. However, the GA-P35-DS3R is a better deal for most people because you save $30 and only lose the (useless) DDR3 support.

P35 is better than P31. I don't even know anybody with P31.

I think P31 is basically a modified P35 paired with an ICH7 southbridge rather then ICH9. I would recommend the Gigabyte P35-DS3L or DS3R, if you don't need a lot of features the DS3L is good board.

But the P35-DS3L isn't available here locally and Im not planning to go buy online so which do you think is better between the two???

I'd go with the MSI, just because it's P35.

P35 is best for over clocking, if you consider another MB check this comparison : http://comparemb.tripod.com/
