Arrow Need help about selecting motherboard...

Hi,

I'm going to build a sytem in next month. So I decided to think about parts. But I'm stucked there. The Motherboard Selection. Because of I can't decide.

#1 - I will use my computer for gaming (most). Then videos and internet.
#2 - I don't do overclocking,RAID and crossfire/SLI (Certainly!)

This is my two features. And where I stucked...

Firstly I choose ASUS P5Q Pro P45 (172 $), but it too expensive for me becuase of my bucket is about 1000$!

Secondly of course I went to GIGABYTE and I choose EP45C-DS3R P45 (157 $), I read many reviews; someone said that is a good card, someone said is not. This motherboard supporting DDR2 and DDR3. But I see DDR2/DDR3 supporting motherboards always have a problem. This motherboard also has 6 RAM Slot.

Thirdly I turned my face to EP45-DS3L P45 (125 $), that is really really a good motherboard. I decided to choose this motherboard but I think again becuase of Gigabyte's technical services usually have problems in this country.

Lastly, I come back and look ASUS and I saw P5Q SE P45 (137 $), that is good card as EP45-DS3L... But I can't decide which should I buy...

I said again my first deal is gaming. And my computer will be open 12-15 hours.
So which motherboard I should took..

Here the other parts:

CPU: Intel E8400
GPU: ATI HD4870
RAM: OCZ Reaper (2x2) 1066Mhz
Case: Also can't decide.
PSU: Will decide after selecting motherboard and case.

Thanks for helping.
