Am I making the right choice?

Hardware Hub Motherboards

Spying around for my motherboard. I wanted an AM3+ socket with at least two pci 2.0 ports, sata connectors that are on the side (as opposed to sticking straight up) and support for 1866 memory. As a plus, my current choice has a USB 3.0 header, which is great. I just picked up the source 220 and I was hoping to use the front USB 3.0.

Tell me what you guys think of this mobo. I plan on crossfiring and I'm glad that the first two PCI 2.0 slots have a decent amount of space between them. It should help with keeping the cards a few degrees cooler.

The color scheme is also what I wanted. Black, or just black blue and/or white accents. Seems like it meets all of my standards..

Tell me what you guys think.

I should also note that I do plan on overclocking past the 4ghz mark with an FX-6300.

Gigabyte GA-990FXA is $150.00 more then your original board, but I've built a couple of computers with the mobo and I really enjoy it.
