Motherboard Help!

[tbone646]

Hey,
I am goign to upgrade my sytem and am wondering what motherboard you guys could recommend. I am thinking of either getting a athlon xp or pentium 4. Processor speed will be in the 3.0 with 800 mhz fsb or 3000+ with the 400 fsb.
I'd like it to have good ram and be capable to handle the geforce fx 5900 ultra. I don't have much computer knowledge.
I am really just looking to build a gaming pc.
Thanks

Chip:
Pentium 4 with 800MHz FSB - not much difference in price between 400MHz and 800MHz FSB chips, so why not go for the higher FSB one?

Motherboard:
Depending on required features: Asus P4P800 or Asus P4P800 Deluxe or Abit IS7 or Abit IS7-G. These are good motherboard and great for overclocking too, which you may be interested in considering you are planning to build a gaming system.
