If this is going to last 4 years, I would go with the GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3P
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128417
It has USB 3 ports that are going to become very useful.
You would want to use the Xtreme Memory Profile to get the 1600 memory to work with this board at full speed.

thanks vanekl for the replay (and the only 1,,,)
but! the ud3p doesn't have a 1394 onboard and that is a must for me,
do you have m.c on your system? what is the xmp?

Uhm, no, I don't use Avid.

Well, here's a board with both ports.
ASUS P7P55D-E Pro LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

There's a number of boards that have both usb 3 and firewire.
