I've been told that gigashat p67's are decent. Though i don't trust them -_-. Though i did play with their Z68 board a couple days ago, twas sexy.
I'm actually liking the one i posted in the OP Smile Is there any reason you know of not to go for the ASROCK?
Other than price, it looks fine. You could save yourself about £20 if you go with the P8P67 Pro, unless there's a specific feature you need. The Deluxe as far as I know only has a few random things like bluetooth. I personally have the P8P67 LE, as I didn't know about the CF limitation/lack of USB3 header vs. the Pro.

That being said, if you don't need to CF/SLI or USB 3.0 header, the P8P67 LE is also a good, cheap choice too.
I like the USB 3.0 front panel Smile Also, considering the 2600K + ASROCK P67 + 120GB SSD = £550+ the £20 doesnt bother me much XD

Also, considering this is a conversion from an AMD is there anything i need to be aware of? The GFX card is fine, my RAM is already DDR3, the PSU is 750W and all my PCI's will work Smile

Its a child company of asus, so likely its bios or something stupid is on a lesser scale.
hmm, i cant find any good youtube vids of the asrock, and the ASUS P8P67 Pro looks sexy Big Grin It matches my case too Toungue

But the ASROCK has the 6x 6GB/s SATAIII ports Confused
How many ports do you need, though? Unless you're intending on filling them with SSDs, most HDDs don't even utilize it fully.
I have asus news Smile It is very not good emachines screw up. Asus is very nice popular impressive!
