Newegg has the GA-990XA-UD3 for $150 plus shipping costs. I am looking towards this one, but I am waiting for a review. Not sure if or how much of a overclocking there is between the 990XA or 990FX.

Newegg doesn't take international paypal payments or CC.
I might go for that one also, maybe it's even better for overclocking, less lanes, less transistors and maybe smaller production size?

Sorry I did not know that. I did the order the board though. Used the Shoprunner trial and the new customer discount at Newegg to get the board for $140 shipped. If I like the board I plan on selling off my current one to offset the cost. Thankfully I have an extra DDR3 ram laying around, so I can wait on a good 2x4GB DDR3 1866 deal.
I like this board for the lower cost and its layout. I can still put my 5770s a few slots apart and put my Creative X-fi Xtremegamer sound card in there. I didn't want to spend the extra bucks on a new sound card just yet to get a proper layout. To top it off it matches the blue LED fans in my Lian-Li case.
