The ASUS A7m is about the best mainboard I have ever had, it is solid.

If the KT7 is anything to go by then the KG7 will be a pain in the arse.

Also, the A7m has onboard sound, there is a jumper to disable onboard, it is
not mentioned in the manual, you will find it between PCI 2 -3.

The graphics card could be cheaper.
