i was about to recommend a motherboard, but i just noticed that you havent listed your RAM. what is the speed of the RAM? and is it DDR2 or DDR3?
The RAM for the Mobo is DDR 3 2133 OC and the mobo has a max of 16GB, and there are four of those.

The RAM that I was going to use is the G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600.

uhhh, just to clarify, the SUPPORTED ram for the mobo is 2133 mhz, and the ram you plan on getting is 1600 mhz, correct? then you can grab this mobo and change the RAM speeds to match the supported value, or this one, which already has the right speeds.

Hii wait.

The motherboard supports 2133. That means it will also support memory values under 2133Mhz. You want it to be able to support faster memory.

It doesn't matter I suppose because you'll be able to OC the ram speed regardless.

uhhh, just quickly skimming through the thread, but i didnt find anything about him wanting to overclock, so its fine - unless he forgot to mention the overclocking.
