I am in the process of purchasing components to build a new machine. I want to build an X58 with a core i7 920 processor. I have been contemplating two motherboard models. One is an EVGA and the other is a Gigabyte. Here are the two models.

EVGA X58

I am leaning towards EVGA because of their warranty and customer service. I have also heard and read reviews of some of the newer Gigabyte boards being DOA and many people are having to RMA them. What would you consider better and why?
