I just got a Crosshair V Formula Z and love it, much better than the POS Gigabyte I had, Asus vid cards suck bad from what I hear (and yes the Ares II costing a small fortune so noone can buy it in this economy is also junk) Saphire, XFX and MSI are the real deal where Radeon is concerned, good luck man
