Bobby,
I didn't find the MIR on the ASUS. I do find the combo deal you linked
before, though. Oh, maybe you;re referring to the graphics card....I'm
not going to upgrade that at this time. Thanks.

Anthony,
On the motherboards, I usually buy Asus. Reading through the reviews
for
P67 chipsets, the Asus seemed like the winner at this point.
As for the graphics card, they all (EVGA, PNY, Gigabyte, Asus) seem
relatively close. Reading reviews, some seem to be noisier or run
hotter.
The Asus also had a MIR on it. LOL. The one thing I was not sure about
on
the Asus is that it vents into the case.
If you have some other suggestions, I am open.
Thanks,
Bobby

Is there a reason you picked the Asus, Bobby?
