Hi everyone. Let me just start off by saying I am new to all of this, and am trying to put together my first computer. I have a case (SF-201T BLK), a power supply (ATX-500W BLK), and a system monitor (DD5PLUS-BLK). Obviously I need a few more components. I am trying to decide between 4 motherboards. They are: (1) Asus P4C800-E; (2) DFI Lanparty 875 Pro; (3) Gigabyte GA-8KNXP; and finally (4) MSI 865PE Neo 2-FIS2R. Since I am so new at this, I am probably not going to get into overclocking just yet. Right now, I just want a reliable, stable, fast board. I will primarily be using the computer for surfing the net, downloading music and videos, possibly music and video editing, lots of game playing, and occasional office utilities. I hope all of this info helps, cause I just need some reliable opinions. Thanks for your time, and help.
 
I like the LANParty's bundle, but I would probably buy the ABIT IC7 or ABIT IS7 over the others.
 
I have the DFI 875 board, I like it, as well as the included items...its very stable and OC's pretty good, I maxed out my chip around 265fsb...

The IC7-G is better I hear...but it depends on you
