Can you give us some vendors that may have the board? Usually places like newegg.com or newegg.ca get this stuff 1st. I would stick with my current motherboard but with pci-e 3.0, I have a $500 vid card that I want to make full use of. One consideration and thought i had that you could pass on is direct sales of products from the website. At least for some products.
