It supports all Socket 775 Intel CPU series. It comes with 3 PCI Express x16 slots on the board, 2 blue and one white. The CPU area is spacious enough fo you to add in your heatsinks to the system, Gigabyte 775 Neon cooler and anything slightly larger heatsink should not be a problem for this purpose.
Silicon Image 3132 PCI Express SATA chip is added to the PCI Express bus to operate the external e.SATA ports and a VIA 2 port Firewire chip operates the onboard Firewire feature.
You can get an ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard with the price range of $974-$1345 USD, depending on the retailer you are getting it from.
