it's just a component
it depends on what you plan to do.....the product line (Gigabyte) itself is outstanding, and, if that's the direction you're going, you've obviously researched it, go for it
ps.........since you're a rookie, look into the cost and attribute differential between intel and amd systems to compare

i dun know about the mobo being good or bad (sorry, too lazy right now to look it up)
but i think for a "rookie-pc-lover" like yourself, the A7V8x is a great mobo. Its fairly cheap, $80 or less if you can find.
edit:
just looked up the motherboard,
its a pentium board :dead: :blackeye: if thats your gig, cool, but tell you right now, for "rookie-pc-lovers" i think amd is the way to go...almost same performance at certain clock speeds (dont flame me, i know no amd cpu and come up to the 3.2Ghz HT P4) and AMD its tons cheaper.
anyways, I do thing the mobo is a good mobo, as it supports
ddr400
agp8x
USB2.0
ata133
6 channel onboard sound
To take full advantage of your cpu (depending on how fast it is) DDR400 is nessary, and Agp8x can go with todays videocards. again, i think its a good mobo, but depending on how much it costs, there could be an alternate.
