It depends if you are a mad overclocker, because in that case, the Abit NF7-S 2.0 or the 8RDA+ will serve you better, BUT if you are just a stock user, or a mild overlocker, the A7N8X Deluxe is the board to get!

I own both boards and they both perform great. The NF7-S is better for heavy overclocking. Why? Here are a few reasons.
Abit bios offers up to 2.3 vcore. The Asus is only 1.85
Abit has 3 phase power. The Asus has 2.
Also the Asus ver 2 still suffers from the bios-save death problem, The Abit does not.

So far I have had my NF7-S up to 236 stable.
