The Great Mobo Decision: Newegg Warped my mind, need your help!

I am looking for a nforce4 MOBO!

Processor AMD 3700 or 3200 (yeah wait before saying umm 3200 dude!!!)
7800GT.

Now, I do NOT plan on OCing. For a while... and even then would be minimal. I just want a great layout, non SLI nforce4 board, with great features and stability number one. Looking on Newegg reviews is like heroine... it's just OD and head explode in end. Keep justifying to change your board by bad reviews. But good reviews keep you coming back. Everyboard has it's issues I know... and have researched sites greatly, but that darn Newegg keeps me switching like playing musical chairs at outdoor ed.

Was thinking of Epox 9npa+ Ultra or ASRock (don't laugh) or DFI Lanparty (OCers choice how about non/limited OCer? And n00b too, first set up from ground minus replacing some parts in old mobo heard DFI could be a bit overwhelming?). epox recently been having USB 2.0 port issues... but seems be BIOS solved once get a fix. Could be a while, but eh I hate mobo shopping =( Suggestions? Comments?
 
I might be biased but go for the Epox board, it's cheap, easy to overclock and it's mobo manual is VERY user friendly...I haven't had any USB 2.0 issues and i have 5 usb ports in use right now....
 
i have the ASRock Dual939 SATA2 and its a great board... faster than the Gigabyte nForce3 setup i had and its got both AGP/PCI Express and a slot for the new M2 when it comes out... ive had my winchester overclocked to 2.3Ghz w/ no problems and it was dead stable....

also you cant beat the <$70 price tag... i think i paid 63 for mine shipped to my door... but im probably going to be going to a A8N-SLi even though im running a X800GTO2 card...
 
Another EPoX fan chiming in here. 🙂 EPoX boards are known to be great overclockers, which some say means they're bound to be very stable at stock.
 
EPoX all the way... BTW No need to be ashamed of considering an ASRock 939Dual-SATA 2 mobo... 😛 It's actually pretty good, and would be perfect for your system as well...
