Gigabyte makes good mobos. I have several and am happy with them all.

Good luck!

Thanks, these boards are also very well priced!

The only thing i dont like is the audio's rear I/o. I've got a Logitech 5.1 system and i know its stupid, but i used the onboard audio. Would i be better off getting a sound card?

A good sound card will always be better than on-board audio. What is your budget for a sound card?

Yes, you'd be better off with a dedicated sound card as opposed to onboard for 5.1ch audio.

Im using a headset mostly now though, Astro A40's, I dont see a need for a sound card since it has a 7.1 HD Mixamp?

Then just go with the on board audio. You can always add a stand alone sound card later if you want to. Not an issue in the least.

Good luck!
