i7 and i5 are similar, but i7 has a few differences other than speed. X58 also has more lanes than P55, better for multiple GPU solutions overall.

Have you looked at the gigabyte P55 boards? They're a little cheaper I believe and generally are of the same quality as EVGA and have decent CS.

P.S. You use NCIX and pricematch right? Every Canadian should Smile

My problem is the PCI-e lanes, because on one hand, I don't think I'd need to SLI/Crossfire, but on the other, I keep my stuff for a long time, and if the 8x lane becomes a bottleneck in the future, I'd be kicking myself. Thing is, my monitor is limited to 1680x1050 so I really doubt I'll be using CFX/SLI anytime soon.

I've heard good things about Gigabyte and I've checked out their offerings, but I'm waiting to see if I can get my hands on some more reviews.

As for price matching, I'll likely be buying from the States because I have an American dollar account, so nothing from NCIX. I'm happy Hardware Canucks mentions pricematching constantly because it has saved me some money in the past.
