Default Buying Motherboard

I do not know much about computers but I am looking to buy a new motherboard as well as a new processor. I now have this one:
ECS PT880PRO-A Version 1.0
I would like to buy that can be used for a long time and will be compatible with a Intel Dual Core processor. I am a mediocre gamer and do need to have the best one out there at all. Please help me. I am looking to spend as little money as possible.

What motherboards suit my needs??

if you dont already have the processor, get the e7200, as for a motherboard i would say the intel p43 or p45, whichever one you find to be cheaper, since your not going to be gaming get either a radeon 3450 or a nvidia 8500gt, as for ram, it doesnt really matter what brand, you'll need around 2gb of ddr2
