I personally like the nForce chipsets. They offer great overclocking options and a very wide range of options. If possible, I would go with the nForce4. So out of those two I would pick the gigabyte

It's a push wrt stability and performance. The nf3/4 chipsets offer more typically but the k8t800 pro chipset doesn't really have a weakness, unlike some nf shortcomings.

Either way its a push and not going to make much difference overall. Go with your wallet and gut instincts I say

I'd recommend MSI Neo2 Platinum or Gigabyte K8SNXP for nf3 boards... maybe the MSI one is better of the two.
