If you think you are interested in overclocking then go with a Abit NF7-S v2.

No need to get the S version unless you specifically need the SATA support

If you dont want to overclock and just want to plug it in and not worry about it go with the Asus A7N8X.

I sincerely hope you're not implying ASUS boards cant OC.

Also can I get some advice on fans, such as: what are they good for? how many do you really need? is a fan a fan is do you need a particular brand?

- At the least get two 80mm fans: one on intake and one for exhaust. If you're case has more mounts for more fans, make sure you load them up
- For CPU fans, make sure you get a nice solid one

If you want power grab the Volcano12/Polo735 and if you're more interested in a quiet environement, grab the Silentboost K7, all made by Thermaltake

Unless I'm missing something, RPMs for a fan arent a critical spec....
