Is the ASUS M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 motherboard good?

Like the title says is it a good motherboard? I am currently upgrading my computer and replacing them. I was wondering if it's also decent for gaming.
I'm going to be using an AMD Phenom II 275 BE for the CPU and I have a GeForce GTX 275 for my graphics card. Is there a Specific DDR3 Ram I should use? or any is fine?

Hi, I've been using this board in my gaming pc with an 1100t, Corsair XMS3 1333 mhz RAM and a Sapphire 6950 for about 2 years and it's been a good board. But if I were you I'd be looking at better boards because this one is old now and it only has an AM3 socket so you won't have an upgrade path.

I'd be looking at boards like these:
