I was going to get an ASUS MoBo but I read some of the reviews and the ones I was looking at didn't look to good. But I'll take your suggestion! :)

includes a CPU cooler, only thing i would add more into the build that i hope that it will not break your budget is an SSD. You can get a good one for around or under $90

Don't go by what the store reviews tell you - they're not a good way of accurately judging a product. 90% of the time they're completely baseless, and a good majority of the negative reviews have almost nothing to do with the product itself.
