I am looking a building a computer from scratch (I am not new to computers... just new to building). I cannot seem to find a decent MB that does not have integrated video and audio. I want to put in my own of both, so that it doesn't use up resources.
So my question is: can you deactivate, physically or logically, those onboard devices?
I am looking at this board:

Any info on this (How this can be done or a comparable replacement) would be appreciated!

Yes you can in the Bios . A GOOD mobo around 150-200$ has a awesome onboard sound card. They do this just in case your video card burns out and you have a backup. Alot of people DONT need a video card since all they do is basic stuff so they usually have them now.

You can always deactivate your on board video and audio if you install your own one. I am sorry dude, but there is no reason to disable on board audio and video. IT DOES NOT USE UP ANY RESOURCES. You are just disabling the windows from recognizing it.
