the a7n8x is great...the only upgrade I can suggest to people that helps over the long run is getting your network card changed.
Onboard network is nice, but having a $50 external network card actually gives you a lot of computer/cpu time/resources back. With onboard network cards, the cpu is used to check the packages so if you are sending and recieving lots of packets (online games, downloading, blah blah) you're cpu is actually taking a hit. Well with 3com's, and intel's higher end card (no linksys, dlink, or any realtek based cards) you can tell the os to move all network management too the network card.
I know this sounds extreme guys, but we are talking about 25~30% cpu usuage at peak.
Too get back on topic..The A7N8X only has one thing I didn't like about it, and that's the three ram slots. All four of mine are used on my IC7
