MSI K8T Neo2-FIR VIA K8T800Pro w/ GB LAN, IEEE 1394, SATA RAID $137

Is this the board you were talking about? Are you sure its better than the A8X-E Deluxe? What the heck is "SLI", and if this board has integrated audio, then do i need the Sound card i pointed out? I plan on buying a Logitech x530 too.

Yeah, but their tech support is still enough to deter me from buying one.
Arumuni - Most of the boards you've listed above are AGP, including the Neo2. I don't see why you're limiting yourself to those since there are numerous online retailers such as ncix and mocc that have good selection at good prices. If you wanted more locally, Canada computers has a shop in Mississauga

I cannot stress enough how pleased you will be with this board, it's worth every penny. Either way, the nforce 4 is a way better chip than the Via.
no, arumuni is buying off those really, really crappy sites that make computers for you, so he has a limited choice, all of which are crappy parts (well...except for the abit 3rd-eye)
2.) the msi neo4 is meh....the DFI is much better (who gives a crap about the onboard creative sound? i'm happy with my onboard DFI sound and if i was to actually want decent sound on my computer, i wouldn't go for creative anyways)
oh btw, setting up the corsair value ram is a pain in the ass with the DFI board..i dunno if it still is though

is the 3000+ you're getting a Venice core?
if so, you can easily just overclock it well past the 3200+ speeds, even on stock cooling
SLI means getting 2 video cards (only Nvidia PCI-E ones) and running them together to render the one screen. it ends up being faster.
and yes, definately cancel the Audigy 2 unless you have 7.1 speakers (which you most likely don't)
the onboard sound is still really good.
go for the MSI motherboard. it gives great overclocks, and is a far better board than the Asus
