It is a good board. Actually is a high end board. If you want a budget alternative then you can go for a more cheaper one. This one would be a costly upgrade but in terms of performance you do not have to worry much.

That's a very high end bard. Do you really think you need that for a presentation pc. There are more reasonable boards already available in the market that can provide you a more better solution. Just try out some other models also.
