looks very good to me. 
Anandtech -- a site which every visit makes me regret my time spent! It is a living testimony of Einstein's quote:"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

I would look at getting an 890FX board if the budget would allow for future BD upgrade.
It may be a crap shoot on which one to get that will support BD. One of the top boards from MSI or ASUS might make the muster.
Heck, even bigdroo's Asrock may support BD.
