As far as full ATX boards with IG, there aren't any that stand out above the rest, so the MSI is a solid choice. The only thing missing from it is an HDMI port. Don't know if that's important to you, but just pointing it out. There are a couple others around the price range that include it. Other than that, a micro board isn't a bad choice if you're not going to add much to it. The CPU is a solid rival to the Q6600, particularly now that their prices are the same. The only thing I worth mentioning is that AMD should be releasing their 45nm chips by the end of the year. Link to comment
