The Intel DP67BG and the Asus P8P67 B3 are the two mobos that I've come down. Being a first-timer to computer building, I'm pretty much ignorant about what to look for in them.

I won't be SLI/Crossfire-ing. The number one criteria for me is of course durability and stability. Other than that, I don't really require any superfluos stuff, just that all the basic features should be present.

Cpu: 2500k
Gpu: 6950 Toxic or GTX 570

PS: Would a big-ass graphic card like the 6950 pose a problem on any of the two?
 
i am using Intel DP67BGB3 motherboard with Intel i5-2500k processor and 2*2 GB ram.
i am completely satisfied with it.very stable so far.Intel is known for its durability.mobo manufacturer is FOXCONN for Intel.

running my Processor @ 4.1 GHz and ram @ 1640mhz on OEM cooler without any problem.i suggest you to go for Intel DP67BGB3.here are some pics for you :-

Woah, thanks man! Just a couple of queries, have you had those system restart loops that I keep hearing about on the internet? Are the BIOS and other utilities user friendly? Also, did the SATA ports pose a problem, I read somewhere that they aren't well placed?

1.i experienced boot loops for few times when i assembled my system.but after complete installation and upgrade of system BIOS and drivers ,i never got it once.

it was due to some BIOS problem or loose system cables i dont know actually.the green lights on the mobo as you see in picture is for different components .... the computer boots when all the lights are green.if any of the light is red at time of boot,you will see boot loop and the system will restart and recheck the device for system safety ....so don't worry about it if your system configuration is correct and all cables fixed properly.

2.BIOS is not as user friendly as you find in UEIF mobo.(ASUS mobo got UEIF bios).but its ok for me.i am able to do all changes which i want to do.

3.there is no SATA problem.if your cabinet is ATX or extended ATX,there is no such problems.you can see yourself in the picture.they are placed on side,so it is easy for cable management.

it may be problem for some peoples but it completely depends on you .

about utilities..

they are very user friendly.

1.overclocking is very easy with intel extreme tuning utility.autotune is feature that overclocks your computer automatically.

2.intel desktop utility keeps a check on device status like voltages,temperatures etc.

if you want to know about some particular utility then tell me....i will post it here with details.

trust me it beats powerful systems of identical configuration form different manufacturers ...i did a lot search before purchasing.

for how much you getting DP67BGB3 mobo>?
 
Around 10k-ish, I'd say. By utilities I mean software that ease up the process of overclocking, controlling fans, updating BIOS. For example, my Biostar board has this overclock utility that automatically overclocks the cpu until it starts giving errors.
