That's an overclocking board. You better be overclocking to the max if you want to spend that much on a motherboard. You don;t need 1/2 the features of that if you're not. You better be trying to reach some overclocking records like overclocking a e6750 to 4.0ghz. And also it's the first of the next generation of motherboards - Not good value. it will still be buggy as all hell

best value going around

processor
e6750 -$200USD
2 gigs DDR2 800 RAM - About $80 go with Corsair, Kingston or OCZ
NVIDIA 512 8800GT - $260
(or 256mb 8800gt @ $220 or ATI 3850 @ $160) depending on your gaming requirements, do you want the works in terms of eyecandy like 16xAA, 4xAF, softshadows etc etc or are yo willing to turn some of them off? Do you plan on playing at really high resolutions 1920x1080 or are you planning to play at 1366x768?
Gigabyte ds3r - $130

For gods sake don't buy a cheap POS Power supply go with Seasonic/Antec/Silverstone/OCZ 600w PSU - $100

Stalker is cheap enough to buy on it's own not a real big selling point. IMO it's a pretty zzzz game. Most graphics cards will have a game bundled anyway
