[Question] Motherboards

[InternetExplorer]

Just a quick question, which of these is the best:

Asus P8Z68-V Pro, Socket 1155
Asus Sabertooth P67, Socket 1155

Or is there any other mobo's that's better for around the same price?



I'll be using these parts with it:

CPU Fan: Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler

PSU: Corsair HX 850W PSU ATX 12V V2.2, 80 Plus Silver, Modular

RAM: Corsair Vengeance™ DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL8 Kit

SSD: Crucial m4 SSD 2,5" 64GB SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA3.0), 415MB/95MB/s read/write

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3.4Ghz

GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express 2.1, "TOXIC Edition" (2x - crossfire)

HDD: Western Digital Caviar® Black 750GB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 64MB Cache, 7200RPM, 3,5", Dual processor

Case: Cooler Master HAF 922 Midi Tower Sort

Thanks.

I personally use Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD5-B3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard and it's great, however out of the two motherboards you linked this one looks better ASUSTeK Computer Inc. - Motherboards- ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

Good luck!

Make sure that your cooler can fit with the onboard heatsinks in the way, you can see on the motherboard pictures. You may even want to go as far as contacting ASUS to see if they have tested their motheboards to fit it. And vice-versa, contact Cooler Master and ask them if it fits on both of those boards.

From the look of the pictures of the cooler and mobo, it will fit. The V8 cooler isn't really big, it's just the height.
