you could run a p5k or ds3l to cut your board price.
do you really need a 5.1 surround, sound card, and a 22" monitor?
no its not... the board 70$ and those other ones will cost more...

why don't you ditch the sound card... and maybe get a smaller monitor.......
ya.. i found the abit ip35-e a while ago.. then started recommending it heavily after it dropped to 70$ its a bit better than the ds3l
