Hi guys,
I was wondering if this would be a viable substitute for the Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P:

I was going to get that board, but now realise that it would be easier to get a board with the 6 sound ports for the speaker system I will be using: Logitech Z506 5.1 Surround Sound:

Is this motherboard the same as the one mentioned above, apart that it has 6 audio ports? As in does it have everything the above one has so all the components i've already picked out to fit the above one will also work with this?

RAM:http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/RAM/DDR3/Dual+Channel+1600MHz/8GB+%282x4GB%29+Crucial+Ballistix+Sport+1600MHz+CL9+DDR3+?productId=54061

Also, I heard a rumour somewhere that the Crucial Ballistix ram is having issues on the GA-970A-UD3P. Any insight to that would be great.

Thanks guys.
