I have already bought these parts by the way

I know I still need a case and hard drive but I have an old case and hard-drive I can use for now. I know I already asked this but is there anything missing. I can't wait to put my computer together and start it up :D .

As for mobos, with NF4 boards, they're all roughly the same really: the separation only starts with the NF4Ultra boards. I personally would get the ASUS board cuz im much more familiar with ASUS' standard layouts and i like their standard "PCProbe".

I got every part I need to build the computer and get it running except for the motherboard I'm having trouble deciding between this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131569
and this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131530
then after I buy the motherboard I will have a computer but it will have a cheap hard drive and case in it so I know i'm going to get this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16837102059
and probably this hard drive (unless there is a better brand out there):
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822148040
but for the case im having trouble deciding whether to get this cool nzxt one
or this thermaltake one
and with a soundcard the sound is better than with onboard sound right? so I'll need something like this
and I also need speakers and i have to go cheap because im on a $800 budget and i already spent around $500 so these are good right? I also need a keyboard and mouse which i already decided but here they are again:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16826104191
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16823161013
and the last thing I want is a good dvd burner and possibly a dvd-drive so the burning process goes faster:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827131417
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106009
can you guys help me decide which motherboard and case I should get and can you also make sure every thing here is neccesary and made by trusted brands. I'm trying to spend only $300 on all of this (minus the motherboard, OS, and hard drive) so if this stuff is way over $300 I also need to make it around $300 or $400.

I think that a lot of people on this forum dont mind onboard sound. I've heard people say that they dont notice a difference between the onboard sound and a sound card. It kind of depends on what sound card you get. I have the same sound card and speakers as what you linked above. I love the sound card, and the speakers are on their way to my house, cant wait...As far as the motherboards, I'm not sure (I dont have AMD). But I am very happy with my ASUS, so I think either one of those would be a good choice.

It gets rid of static electricity so you dont fry your computer. make your own thread from now on please.
He just asked a simple question....What is your problem? If you want people to help you, i suggest you be a little kinder to others.
Also stop bumping so often. If you want answers, wait for them. People don't live here.

What I told him what it was for then simply suggested to make a new thread from now on.

thanks I'll probably go with the more expensive motherboard and not get a sound card for now.

ok I decided to not get the sound card for now because sound doesn't matter just as long as it can be loud and it doesn't sound like its underwater or whatever. Im going to get the seagate HDD because I didn't find any that were 80gb that were also way cheaper. I'm probably going to get the mor expemsive motherboard because I heard good things about it. I'm going to get the DVD drive and the dvd/cd burner eventually but for now I have a dvd/cd drive I can paint black and use. I have no idea where I'm going to put the speakers but I will still get them. For the case I think I will get the NZXT one because it looks like it has a front vent and it also has a tempurature LCD and a side window plus it's cheaper. I'll get the total in a few minutes
EDIT: only including the things that aren't neccesary to get the computer running (motherboard is only thing neccesary) and not including the CD/DVD drive and burner (i'm getting those when my current DVD drive breaks or something) the total is $369.58 which is pretty good I think

There's bumping and then there's annoy-the-community-bumping :)

The general principle of "if you have to ask, you prolly wont notice the difference" applies. but as for the two mobos, i wouldnt buy either ... of course im not one to like clicking on newegg links either so i only looked at the mobos and nothing else
