sorry buddy, thats an entirely different setup with that processor, the motherboard supports intel processors only i think, and thats an amd processor and its a 939 socket, although thats a beast its not possible. and if you want DDR2 RAM which is better than DDR ram you need to keep the build strictly intel becuz amd doesnt support ddr2 ram.
edit: mr suave is right but the ram is an issue as well.
 
jesus man is ur family rich or something, 8 years old and his computers gonna be amazing. im beginning to get a little jealous here. but dont owrry about not noticin that it was a different socket. the intel is alright.
 
What would you suggest as a motherboard?

I Built that list myself, and as for the money, I am starting up a small online business, and I've been saving up for a while, That's how I got my Dell Inspiron 8600 (about three years worth of saving for half of it), but I get a higher "income right now, so it should only take around a year with the business.

P.S.: I'm fourteen, not eight, and the avatar is a picture of the member known as yo-yo, not me.
 
wat is your business? and is that even legal to do that? i kno in cali you cant start working till your 15-16. i kno some states allow you to be 14 but thats b/c they live in rural communities so you have too...
also good luck in having people trust you...i kno i wouldnt trust a 14yr old..no offense too you..

back on topic...
i dont kno too much about moo's but these seem to be good. they both had good reviews and very few problems..
here's a good mobo thats SLI(noticed the mobo you chose has SLI so i figured you wanted it)

My dad owns the business license, but I run and buy everything through Stratagents (his network administration and accounting business), so, its owned (and supervised) by a 42 year old, but its run by a fourteen year old. (and I dont blurb it out all over the site page that I'm fourteen, but I don't conceal it, for fear of getting "sued":) )
Thanks for the links.
