I'm not sure why I would step up to that MB... I don't need SLI and I don't need SATA II. Since I want round cables to spiff up my case the cables won't benefit me. Any particular reason I should spend over twice the amount of the Gigabyte board?

I don't want a beige DVD in a silver/black case. I'll assume you mean't silver though.

I have WinXP Pro so I'm set on OS.

I'll add the thermal compound... thanks.

I think I'd rather upgrade to this PS: XG VORTEC PSVO-500 ATX 500W Power Supply 115/230 V UL, FCC, UR, TUV, and NOM - Retail $82. 34AMP @ 12V. It has the nicer wire covers.
