Hey, I am planning on building a gaming pc but im struggling on what motherboard to use I am pretty sure what im going to use for the other parts of the build. I want a motherboard with onboard usb headers and wi-fi would also be quite nice but not a must, it also must be compatable with this build, but if it isnt im willing to change my build as long as the price stays pretty close to what it is now. My build is http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/cqrsMp
Thx in advance

Thx for the answers, I may use the athlon instead of the fx but the i5 is a little too expensive for me because I'd rather spend the extra money on a graphics card! But if there are any other cheaper i3 or i5's worth looking into please tell me!
