Thank you The_Beast but how would I input a Network Card into my computer do I have to buy those internet cards (kind of look like for laptops) and stick it in my pc? Please explain it would very much help me.

It says IEEE 1394 I'm assuming it has it?

IEEE 1394 is another term for FireWire...but that mobo has integrated ethernet port, so if you are planning on hardwiring your computer to your interent connection, you don't need any extra components. However, if you are planning on a wireless network, you need a wifi card, or a mobo that has built in wifi.
 
if you have this much money you should consider a board with wifi
or get wifi card.

so you will not have to have all those speaker wires, keyboard wires
mouse wire. it's very anoying. then you would get wireless speakers(don't know how wireless affects sound quality)
wireless mouse, keyboard, printer. and basically no wires. except power cords and
ethernet cord.

and get logitech mouse and keyboard.

your psu should be modular. you can disconect useless wires.

Wireless keyboards, mice, and speakers still use cables...the wireless transceivers plug into the back of the computer, and the device itself communicates with the wireless transceiver. It does decrease the amount of wires that you have to deal with, and it does increase flexibility, but there are still a fair amount of cables in the back of the computer.
 
also since u will be playing games and want high performance
get two identical drives.

and then put those HDs in RAID 0 configuration. read about different raids
on wikipedia. RAID 0 will double your bandwidth. --> files will open faster
HD - RAM will comunicate twice faster than normally
so get 2 of those WD raptors and put them in RAID 0. frankly I have no idea how
insanely fast it's gonna be.
get the raptors don't get that fujitsu or samsung or whatever. get seagate for storage. they have
5 year waranty.
