Hi I am building another new pc, but this one is a bit more high-end than my usual builds, and am lost as to which motherboard to get.
It needs to be able to handle nicely a quad Core Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2GHz Socket AM3 processor, ddr2 and ddr3 ram, as i will be fitting it with 8gb (4 x2gb sticks) of ddr2 as am not prepared to shell out for ddr3 until price drops next year, but will be adding ddr3 at a later date.
It also has to have onboard sound and networking and be compatible with the following parts/software.
Windows 7 home edition
Ram 8gb (4x2gb ddr2) ram
Graphics card Asus EAH4670/DI/1GD3/V2, PCI-E, 1GB DDR3, HDMI onboard.

Case X-Blade MIDI Tower Case - Silver
(http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Comp...ade+MIDI+Tower+Case+-+Silver+?productId=16834)
I would not like to spend too much, I was thinking £60-£90, MUST be available on a site which sells to uk, if including a link.
ps the case only comes with a 400w psu, what kind of psu/cooling will this rig require??
A reccomendation for a cpu fan would be greatly appreciated too
