There's a pretty sweat deal on this motherboard now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138380
Biostar is pretty underrated, this motherboard is a good one.

You can also get something like the Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI, which supports everything you want.
Good solid motherboard.

$130 is a high budget for a G8358 though.
And that power supply isn't a good quality one either. If you're looking to add in another card later on, the 500W won't be enough.

That IS a pretty solid board. I'll probably go with that. Is it fully compatible with the G3258 seeing as it's not Z97? Will the board be able to handle an I7 just fine if I was to upgrade in the future? What exactly does the "2(CFX x8)" mean as far as the PCI is concerned?
Also, about the high price limit, I'm trying to make the computer very upgradable in the future :) I realized the PSU did not have a high enough voltage for that aswell. I decided to upgrade to a better PSU when/if I crossfire.
