Help on choosing a motherboard

[kollio]

I've been searching through loads of motherboards lately and have absolutely no idea on which one to get , i lack the knowledge when it comes to this sort of thing , could anyone suggest a medium/high end one that would run with this hardware ?

-AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz Socket 939
-GeForce FX 5900 128MB (pixelview)
-GeIL 1GB (2x512MB) Ultra Platinum CL2 DDR400 Dual Channel kit

The first mobo is OK
The second mobo is ... leads you nowhere.
The third mobo... What third mobo?

I'd go with an MSI brand. I have found Asus to be unrealiable.

Thanks for the replys and suggestions , Over the weekend i was bad and bought a new gfx card (geforce 6800 ultra) which may not run on the mb's mentioned above ?

im still not sure but i narrowed my selection down to these boards :

Abit AV8 K8T800PRO S939 SATA RAID GBLAN ATX -$241
Microstar K8N SLI Platinum nForce4 SLI Socket 939 SB Live! 7.1ch -$297
Microstar K8N Diamond nForce4 SLI -$350

Just so you know this is in newzealand $ , so the prices is alot different to the usa

would one go for the , Microstar K8N SLI Platinum nForce4 ?

I have the Abit AV8 3rdEye, basically the same board, with some extra frills.
If you go for that, make sure it has a sticker on the box, saying it is compatible with 90nm Winchester drives. This means it has BIOS version 17 or higher.
To run it, you'll need a good PSU of minimum 465Watt.
If you bought the nVidia card in PCI-E/SLI, you can't use it, as the Abit board supports only AGP.
