I have a nVidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti and I am going to buy AMD FX 4-Core Black Edition FX-4300, FD4300WMHKBOX, Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2), and Kingston Digital 120GB SSD

I would normally recommend ASUS mobo's in builds, however for that setup I believe the Gigabyte would be perfectly fine.
Also it looks like that board has sata & IDE? wow
*EDIT* just checked and yes it does have sata and the older IDE.

the two core i3 or the g3258 intel cpu is a better gaming cpu over the amd. if you go the amd route there no real cpu upgrade for that mb. if you use the h81 or h97 mb you can drop in an i5 or i7 latter in your build.
