GA-EP45-DS3L Alternative?

[ackthbbft]

Well, I was about to build a new rig based on a recent Tom's System Builder Marathon using the GA-EP45-DS3L, but just as I was about to place the order on the Cart I set up some time back on Newegg, it appears the board has been discontinued.

Any recommendations on an alternative? Gigabyte is preferred (I like their all-solid cap designs). Tom's hasn't done a builder marathon in a while, so I'm curious to know what they recommend, as well.

Not sure really. Try getting a asus board. They make great boards. They also ahve a few cheap ones at new egg.
