Just some advice, I personally would research Asus boards completely before getting one as over the last couple of years they have been really giving people issues and being DOA or soon after. Not saying every Asus board will be bad, don't get me wrong, but read the user reviews first. Asrock is a really good board but as with Asus, read reviews first. New egg is a great place for that. MSI is not one I'd get or Gigabyte. All in all, Asus has a lot of boards but be very careful which you get and don't forget to check Asrock. Bought 3 of them and had no issues thus far.
