E8500 and what Motherboard ?

Okay looking a getting a E8500 but IDK if I should get a New Motherboard or Wait :confused:

Also looking to get more out of my X3350 aka Q9450

This is going to be my 24/7 Rig and Benching Rig :D

Also would like to order it today so all the help we'll be appreciated :up:

1. E8500 & Asus P5B Deluxe (Vdroop Pencil Mod) [Vcore, Vmch & Vdimm Hard Mod] Already Own

2. E8500 & ASUS Maximus II Formula

3. E8500 & ASUS P5Q Premium

4. E8500 & ASUS P5Q Deluxe

5. E8500 & ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA

6. E8500 & ASUS P5E Deluxe

7. Wait for i7 but then I would need DDR3 & Motherboard & New CPU block unless they come out with new bracket to use with my D-TEC

One of those I would go for either the Rampage Formula or the P5Q Dlx... with X48 being the slightly more performant chipset over P45 clock for clock... but I love my P45's as they are so sweet in setup...Maximus Formula II and P5Q premium are overpriced as they don't bring much more than the regular E or Dlx P5Q variants
