Solution
the asus-a or the asus h97-e mb and the 4590/4690 cpu. newegg has the gskill 1600 8g ddr3 ram kits for 72.00 after rebate. if you have a local micro center the 4590 cpu is 160.00.

I have been reading up about the mother boards after the advice given and as I have a need to do video and photo work I have been considering about a later version that has more expansion slots. ie H97-PRo gamer. This raised the next question, what processor and am thinking about the i7 4820k, then that raised the next question what power do I need. Some of the Corsair ones look quite good, 650 Gold. My current graphics card works well and was not proposing to change it is a Nvideo 8800 GTS.
Any advise much appreciated, my current set up was purchased in early 2007 and whilst I have added new drives and an SSD it has done very well.
