You thoughts on a Motherboard for this system?

[warcrow]

I'm building a system for my father. I needed a 939 board, with PCI-E support. How are the nForce boards? I'm kind of a ASUS fan. Suggestions please?

I love asus quite a bit, but I just dont like their non-SLI motherboards. (I use the A8N32 from Asus personally). Im just dissapointed with the A8N-E and everything ive heard about it.

That being said, Id suggest going with a DFI, like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136163

Or, if you want high quality onboard sound, go with an MSI, as some of them have onboard soundblaster audigy sound. Im not familiar with their arsenal at all though, so i cant suggest a specific mobo.

MSI K8N Diamond Plus would be a nice one for that system, or perhaps the Neo4 Platinum.
