Help with MOBO for this PC

[chicsdiggit]

I think I have all the other parts pretty much nailed down, thanks to support from here. I would like input on the perfect mobo for this board. I don't need SLI, and I don't plan on overclocking right now, but maybe in the future. Any input is much appreciated! I want a good, solid mobo that has lots of features.

*EDIT Please list specific mobo examples, not just a brand for the most help, thanks! EDIT*

If you are looking to OC in the future and want a lot of features, I'd go with a DFI board. Very good boards for overclocking.

Agree. However, aren't these boards somewhat picky about RAM? If so, make sure the RAM you picked will play nice with the MB.

DFI NF4 Ultra. Less than $90 and you can overclock the hell out of it.

While I may overclock in the future, I don't need a serious overclock. So a board that specializes in overclocking will be less interesting to me if it doesn't do all the other things very well (such as RAM compatibility, etc) I basically want a board that is not "finicky" at all.

I have not come across a board that was finicky with mushkin
