So I've decided to upgrade from my aging system. I plan to purchase this cpu and video card:

I am gonna still use my current 1gb ddr400 ram and sata hd as well as 600w psu.
I don't know much about mobos except what kind of inputs I need for my peripherals. I was wondering what mobo everyone would suggest that would work well with the cpu. SLI/Crossfire is not necessary but if the mobo is better I am ready to chip in a little extra. My budget for mobo is about $150.
Thanks for any input :D
 
The mobo in my .sig rig has performed flawlessly, as has the same one in my backup. I would recommend against it, however, because it requires a -5V rail that most PSUs no longer provide. If your existing PSU doesn't have this rail, you're up a creek. Your replacement PSU choices will be severely limited, specifically excluding all of the top recommended brands I see on here.

I have an Abit Kn8 Ultra, built several Biostar Tforce 6100's for others and both are great MB's. You probably don't need the onboard vid on the Biostar though. Also built 2 Gigabyte K8n's for a client and it was a good board as well.
