I have had no problems with mine. I've only ever gotten intel boards in the past, but I decided to get an Nvidia. I hadn't heard of XFX before actually, but heard it was good. I've had mine for a few months. I like using it for overclocking too. It's easy to use.
As long as you don't mind having to hit F1 everytime you boot up, to get past the settings screen, it's fine. I didn't have to do that with intel boards, but i don't mind it. It lets me know that everything's working fine and makes it easier to get into the bios when I want to make a change.

Good thing I am letting the shop build it and install windows O.O I'm getting OCZ ram, if I would've built it myself it would've never worked and I'd have to get new ram O.O

We'll see if it works, I'm expecting it will

Ah well

I think it's because I don't have a floppy disk. It shows everything as working, but says that the floppy disk is missing. I never thought twice about it being a problem. I've gotten used to it showing me my system specs.
Besides that I don't have any functionality problems, so I'd recommend the mobo.
