Motherboards - Help!

[Shaw24]

OK so I have my AMD Phenom II x 4 3.0 Ghz Socket AM2+ Quad-Core decided on. I also have this mobo picked out as well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128387

Which comes to a total of $300.

I can go with this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.209473 and my AMD to get a combo deal and save $100. Anyone see anything wrong with that or tell me why I should stick with the Gigabyte board?

I'm all for saving big bux but im also a fan of the Gigabyte mobo's. Nontheless i don't see a prolem...

and that gigbyte mobo you've chosen is the same as the one i'm waiting to arrive. Good choice!

Stick with the gigabyte, biostar boards arent very good.

Stick with the gigabyte, biostar boards arent very good.

Yea I figure I will have this system for a long time so I def want quality parts.

OK so I started doing some research on motherboards and such. Why would I want to sink money into an AM2+ motherboard and CPU when I can get an AM3 mobo and CPU for about the same cost?? I know memory will cost a little more, but not that much.

Here's what I am thinking: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/TemporaryWishList.aspx?ChangeQty=0
