A few things u should know about SATA/USB 3.0 tech and mobos as shown by our very own forums here
USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, Motherboards, And Overcoming Bottlenecks
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/usb-3.0-sata-6gb,2583.html
Also note that LGA 1156 shall be usurped by LGA 1155 as soon as end of this year/possible Q1 next year if u intending to sink a wee bit on chip + board FYI...

tyvm deff glad u told me that what would u reccomend as far as mobo and chipset i figure ill spend 130-230 on a mobo and 150-250 on a cpu what would be my best bet for that price range

Actually $600-700 u dun have to deal with a GPU like GTS 250 @@ For the entire tower @ $660AR for example:

Removing hardware u have on hand you could easily land a HD 5850

i dont need a case hard drive or cd drive im trying 2 use the $800 2 get the best out of the motherboard,cpu, memory, and graphics card

i guess all i really need 2 know is what motherboard and cpu would u guys suggest for someone who doesnt do much ocing and only using 1 graphics card im willing 2 spend up to $250 on the mobo and $250 on the cpu if needed that is
