Hey looking for help mostly with choosing a mobo for my comp.
This is what I have its basically complete and has a mobo selected but I'm not at all sure with it.

My friend picked a mobo for me but said he wasn't really sure at all about mobo's right now and to ask someone more knowledgible before going through with buying it.
Anyways I'm looking for a good midrange priced mobo 100-150. SLI would be nice but it doesn't matter to me (dunno if the powersupply would even be enough for sli anyways) that much. I'm not really worried about DDR3 either. I looked at a few boards for giga/asus/msi but I'm not really sure on which one the only one I was concerned about was one of the asus boards only had 1 sata plug/port.
Also is the power supply I picked fine for this system?
For a heatsink I was just looking for something that would drop my temp about 10c and be fairly quiet and not too large. Is this a good choice or is there a better option?
and lastly I was stuck deciding between the XFX 8800GTS 512mb and the EVGA version. Both seem to be a little OC'd from the stock 8800GTS 512 however the XFX comes with CoD4 which I was planning on buying anyways so I figured I'd save myself like 40 bucks since I heard XFX gets good reviews as well. Is this worth the extra bit of money I save or does the EVGA perform better?
