Not really,
but I don't know the reasons for choosing this mobo.

I personally would go with a P35/P45 with ICH9® or ICH10® (ICH7 is pretty dated)
® - if you want a RAID system

Also this GIGABYTE vs ASUS power saving shit is pure marketing bullshit ... actually those motherboard suck more energy then e.g. MSI board with some clever power saving strategy ...
I say that, because I fell for the ASUS advertising and later discovered, that its complete bullshit

ONE example

costs roughly the same, but has all the latest technology

If you want to build PC by yourself, the problem​ is that it can get tricky while you choosing the parts. And computer dealers usually don't help because they don't know either any better or have to pushing products of a particular company. To be sure that your PC will work properly for a long lime it is better to choose a new one. https://www.bestadvisor.com/best-gaming-pcs ​
