I would uge you to with an MSI / DFI motherboard instead of the ASUS one - My first choice was the ASUS SLi motherboard (top of the line) and then I spent numerous days looking at reviews / performance data and so on - the DFI one (DFI SLI-DR) that I chose is about the best one you can buy - extremely good overclocking ability / stability and I would have to say that the DFI has one of the best support out there !
