Should I get a new mobo?

I have a cheap asus g31 chipset and want a better board. Mainly for overclocking.

I was looking into this one

What are your thoughts?

 

And a new cpu cooler

this one

 

Looking at the customer reviews, I see alot of red flags that throw up a bit up a black flag. At the price they are charging, there should be NO issues whatsoever with this board. I think you may be looking at a good old fashioned can of worms here. From the reviews at Tigerdirect and Newegg, it appears to be a crapshoot as to whether or not you are going to have headaches.

I swear by AMD myself, and just picked up a new Biostar 790GX chipset board. It has been absoulutely flawless through install and operation, and I can't wait to upgrade to 4 GB of Ballistix PC8500 memory. With the current memory and overclocking, it runs folding@home in the background, and all the activities I do otherwise seamlessly.

If I had to recommend an equivalent mobo, this would be it. It doesn't have as many slots in the PCI bus, so it all really depends on just what you are doing.

What will you be running with it? And are you running 64-bit?
