Just cruise around Newegg.com and Tigerdirect some more and make sure the MB is ATX, socket 775, Quad core compatible, has a PCIe slot, and can use DDR2 800 RAM. Besides that you can decide what brand and chipsets you like. I recommend a Intel, Gigabyte, or MSI board, with Asus and Abit boards not far behind. Hope this helps you man.
 
I would not pick the ram you want until you have picked the motherboard. Some motherboards are VERY picky about the ram they use.
