Much like cars...
1. what is your budget?
2. Mobo, CPu's and Ram need to be paired together.
If your going with a new Vid card as well you need to consider if you are going for a PCI Express 2.1 or 2.0
When I build, I try to build with "Future upgrade" in mind. That being said. Your Mobo is the most important purchase... everything else is determined by that purchase... i.e. Ram, Vid card Capabilities and type of Power Supply. (because Vid cards also determine PS type)

ASUS M4N98TD EVO
CORSAIR XMS3 (12GB Max)
AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2
XFX Black Edition P1-750B-CAG9 750W ATX12V v2.2 / ESP12V v2.91
Total = $584.96
Not sure what videocard you are looking for.
I quickly looked at specs. but I believe these are all compatible. If you have a decent video card and Hard drives... This system is REAL nice @ that price.
