Asus P8H67-M EVO - A Closer Look
Gigabyte may have stuck to their roots with their packaging theme, however Asus have unleashed an all new colour scheme - that's right folks. Black.
Like the Gigabyte, the accessory set is quite conventional. Note that a CrossfireX bridge is not included in either package despite motherboard support.
The box theme may have changed however motherboard style is identical to the previous generation. This however is not a bad thing as Asus' board layouts for most of the part have been well thought out in general.
The only major difference between the Asus and Gigabyte in terms of connectivity is the former's implementation of a PCI slot. This is great news for those who don't wish to get rid of their expensive Creative X-Fi Sound Cards or similar from x years ago. Otherwise, the ability to use up to 3 PCI-Express devices still stands.

The price may massage, but it all looks nice and handy to me.
Edit*
Although saying that supporting GPU for a internet/email and some simple games user could completely eliminate the need to buy a graphics card which would save an extra £100ish but does it add up? £50 Mobo, £70 CPU & £80 GPU or £120 Mobo, £150 CPU £200 vs £270 for a everyday pc Ofcourse the sandybridge option will run smoother but is it worth the extra £70 :x!
