Switching to PC New build advice!!

[jeandogon]

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker first time poster.
So first of all let me introduce myself.
I am a French Audio engineer where I mostly work in commercial studios but I also have a small HD2 rig at home

I have a G5 PPC running an HD2 rig PCI Express with One UAD 2 duo card.

I have the licence for using pro tools 8 but with my G5 i cannot install it because I am still on tiger and also I want to upgrade my computer whch is 6 years old.

It is the perfect time for me to switch to PC and I need some help.

Here is what I already have

CPU I7 930
Enermax modu 87+
some ram and a cd/dvd burner

To accomodate my CPU I need the new LGA 1366 MoBo
I really want to get it from gigabyte because I had great experience with them in building some towers for some friends of mine.

So can somebody give me some compatible MoBo with HD cards.
I am looking between
X58A UD3R
X58A UD5
X58A UD7

On the pictures the two latter one seem to have enough space but does some of you have real life experience with these MoBo.

I really want to use gigabyte so I may even look at the UD9 if some of You have better results with them.

Thanks for reading. I will keep you informed of the building steps when I will have some more infos.

I would be very curious to know your results; I am looking to switch over an HD3 system to the W7 platform and I'd like to know if any of these work out for you. Their configuration would be ideal for my needs.
