Is there a better deal than this £125 mobo cpu bundle?

Me again. Pretty much decided to try to stretch to the i3 2100 cpu, Looking for a mobo now. I have to use wireless and currently have a pci wireless cat but pci slots appear to be thin on the ground. I've also got a pci Soundblaster Audigy ZS but i guess this would be redundant with the onboard audio.

So find me mobos that have at least one pci slot for the wireless card, but has a digital audio out to connect to my amp.

Well I have just been through most of the boards and this I think is the cheapest "non-crap" one I could find, Its ATX and at least it means you can overclock if you ever put a better CPU in there.

I Guess the other option is to sell the pci cards and buy two pci-e cards instead.

Indeed.
