That's a very expensive motherboard :).

It actually looks pretty good. When you do upgrade your memory, make sure to get the exact same stick to avoid any problems.

Reviewers like that mobo, which is good as well.

Are you happy with forking out a few hundred dollars extra to get a quad-core instead of a dual-core?

Obviously, if in the distant future somewhere, you upgrade to a 8800GTX or one of the unreleased, high-end R600's, you'll need a slightly better PSU.
 
You don't do much gaming and you opted for an 8600? Well the bottleneck is obviously with the graphics subsystem.
