Why not save $100 or more, and get this board Gigabyte UD3P

It will have everything you want. And you can save $100.....OR......put it towards a a lot better video card. :thumbsup:

Read this review on the board.

Edit: I see now, that price you quoted has the cpu included. I would still consider this board though. :)

OMG, I didn't know that Gigabyte motherboard just raised over $30. I just bought this a little over a week ago for $126 :shocked:

If you're going to use onboard audio, I personally wouldn't get a MB with a VIA audio controller. There are better options than VIA.
