5000+ Black Edition Motherboard inquiry

[Maverix]

I am debating upgrading a motherboard and processor to the 5000+ Black Edition in one of my boxes. I am considering the following boards. I want to have onboard raid or I would go with the BIOSTAR TForce TF570SLI or is it worth getting the raid controller? From what I have read the nForce 570 is a pretty solid choice so that is what I am focusing on.
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe /NVIDIA nForce 570
GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 /NVIDIA nForce 570
MSI K9N SLI Platinum / NVIDIA nForce 570
I have a gigabyte water setup in the box that I have never put on anything so I figure this is a good opportunity to try it out. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

my suggestion DFI Infinity nF570

Don't rule out the older Nforce4 boards - DFI's Infinity MII was capable of 400+ HTT. And also, if you're going with DFI, don't shell out any extra for an SLI board - it is physically the same as a non-SLI one and all it takes is a simple hardmod to unlock this fuctionality

^^or driver change...

More information please...I am trying to get a good fast budget build.

What country do you live in? I've seen some good deals on bards here in the UK, but that's no use to you unless you're local. If you give us some info maybe we can help you some more

yes, i can vouch for that i have UltraII-M2 nF4 DFI and i hit 414HTT, very good mobo, practically flawless, except for the nb cooler, replace it and it's a bomb..
i recommended 570 infinity because he said he wanted a newer chipset, but if you don't mind having a nF4, this one is great

i got a TA690G in my lanbox, rock solid board and VERY cool chipset, also goes up to 350 mht htt (htt is not an issue with the BE btw

or wait for the Gigabyte 790FX DS4 to come out, AM2+ is going to have some perf advantages with K10

Well I live in the US and I have OC'd most of the PC's that I have built but not to an extreme so I figured that I might want to try and go a little more and use the existing water cooling that is sitting in the box in the corner. As far as the build goes I already have 4 gig of OCZ Reaper CAS 3, (2) 36 gig 16mb cache raptors, a new in the box gigabyte water system and a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 that aren't doing anything. I like the fact that the 5000+ BE has an unlocked multiplier. I am open to every suggestion that comes my way. My goal is to build a respectable OC'd machine and learn as much more about the overclocking world as I can in the process.
