It doesn't sound like you need a huge feature set or overclocking abilities (the two things which usually drive up cost), so something like the GIGABYTE GA-965P-S3 would suit you fine. Read through Mobo 101 also.

Ah, again i see, im still learining the linguo. I quickly scanned the mobo 101, but its late here (in the uk, 1am) and im going on 3 hours sleep, so il read it in detail tomoro. I gathered that i shouldnt buy an Intel board.
I would like to be able to build a fast, powerful machine to be used possibly for gaming, more likely for music editing (pro tools etc, requires mega power) or maybe even both. I think i may be looking for a mobo too soon and i should really figure out everything else i want on it, and then find one that works, right?

Would this be compatible with the Core 2 Duo chip set?
