you'll need a socket 775 motherboard, asus is pretty good, also you'll need one that supports pci express. Power supplies are hit or miss, i'd get at least 450 watt if not higher with that build. As for cases, get one that looks cool, really as long as it's sturdy and has plenty of fan ports it doesn't matter much other than that. All of these things can be found on newegg.com. Pay attention to customer ratings, they help me alot. Make sure the power supply you buy is rated 5 eggs.
 
hey thanks HEAPS man that website is perfect i have already chossen a few cases i like.
how much is that motherboard u suggested?? i couldnt find it on newegg
 
it's just a brand of motherboard, you should be able to find several different models of ASUS boards on newegg.com
