Is that really necessary??
Are you planning on running a top end GFX Card and over clocking the shit out of everything.
Id just find a half decent cheapo with an intel chipset.

Wouldn't touch ASUS. There driver support is one of the worst i've come across.
I just buy Dell now. Support is not bad, can always get drivers and pretty easy to shift on when you fancy something a bit quicker.

Asus is fine until it goes wrong, then you have a nightmare putting it right.
Like Johnhara said though, unless you're having a really really high specced machine, there's not much point in having DDR 3 at the moment. The clock speeds may be faster, but the latencies are still quite high so you may as well save your money and get some good PC2-6400 or 8500.
