Well you can get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128090, which has the same north and southbridge chipsets if you really want to go with that exact model. but if your doing things like CAD and photoshop and other really memory intensive software you may want to go with a board with 2 pci express 2.0 slots in order to get maximum memory, just incase you need more memory than the board could even give you, which might be unlikely but, who knows. It depends on what OS you have because with vista 32 bit you can get up to 4gb but in 64 bit you can go up to 16 with this board, your choice tho

Sorry I am quite new to motherboards. So does the Asus M2N-SLI motherboard have 2 or 1 PCI-E slots?
Mainly, I want to purchase this bundle but I don't know if it is any good. Any advice?

SLI means the MoBo has the cabability to run two PCI-E cards together, so yes it has two and they are both X16 speed on this particular board. I am familiar with ASUS, AMD and Corsair as you can see from my system below and I am a believer from experience.
That bundle looks like a pretty good deal. I don't know anything about the seller so I don't know how their customer service is in the event you need to use it but the price is right. Those are top quality components so you should not have any problems.
