Hi 2000xpsd and welcome to Tom's hardware forum.

What is the main use that u want for the rig?

graphic design layout using adobe cs5 for the most part...nothing 3d or crazy like that. Web surfing or course. multitasking. No gaming.
btw i know sandyb is coming out but i can't wait

I'd go with the M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 or M4A87TD/USB3 the others aren't very good just select the best fur ur budget,

1- Brand: Both ASUS and MSI are very good manufacturers ASUS has more experience and a little more quality
2- Even if u don't want OC always is better get a good and solid mobo mor if u want it for CS5
