The level of board and cpu depends on what you will be using the pc for, video editing, gaming etc.

Usually the higher the maximum memory the board will take the more expensive, the am3 board you choose will take 32gb max, but hardly anyone would put in that much.

I see you are getting 4gb memory so would a board with a maximum of 8gb do you ?
 
That asus board takes 16gb ram, so even if you put in 8gb it still leaves you space to upgrade later if you decide to.
 
hey, i have been shopping around and i think i found a good build. is it better than the last one?
