    Hello,
    In my personal opinion it is great motherboard for someone in gaming because you have quad GPU. But if you are in 3d and video editing you need strong graphic design card like nVidia, regarding motherboard I would recommend something under i7 processors because they can handle many threats. some think like this ASUS P6T

    You want the top; look no additional, because you are stare at it. This is absolutely a top choice as far as Core 2 Duo motherboards go. The BIOS is easy to flicker and update, there are plenty of USB ports, along with Fire wire. The layout of the board is perfect, easy to reach IDE port and FDD port. The stock cooling on the Northbridge and Southbridge is exceptional. It comes operational with 3 PCI ports and one PCI-E 1x slot. The only complaint is the amount of tweaking around 500 FSB. Some boards take time to find their sweet spot, this board integrated. Though, that is the only downside of an almost unblemished motherboard.
