Case still researching.

Will upgrade sound card later. Or if suggested worth doing now will added in budget.

Deciding on upgrading network card or not. Is this worth doing? Router will have Wii and total of 2 comps hooked up. No wireless involved.

I Might get a TV turner. So number of PCI slots could determine motherboard.

Hard drive will be 1-2 tb. Been looking at doing the 2 1t hard drives. does this healp that much on a gaming system.

Optical Drive a blue ray burner

Here are the mother boards I have seen and liked. Any suggested on which one would be better or another motherboard instead would be great.

You don't want Intel? 8GB RAM is plenty,

With that budget, you can get an Intel system that will be twice as good as the AMD system
