Depends if he's even going to use those features. SPDIF output? Need the speakers for it. Serial ATA? Questionable at best. Dual LAN? Very few times this is needed.Originally posted by: virtualgames0
i'd personally go for the asus a7n8x deluxe, you get a shitload more features for like $40 more..
Not saying the extras on the Asus aren't good, but why spend that $40 if you won't ever use it?
