I ended up going with:
Gigabyte P67A-UD3R-B3 and Intel Core i7-2600

I wasn't prepared to gamble on the Asus board with all the UEFI 
references - I don't like gambling $A200 :)

Will hopefully get the board installed this afternoon and will report 
back success or otherwise here and at ecomstation.ru

Cheers,

Paul
