Building a computer

Hey guys,

I have a computer already but its kinda getting old and I want a new one. I am not the really hardcore user and I am not a hardcore gamer either. After I am done with this computer thou i wanna be able to hook it up to my new HDTV (Look for the other thread in General Discussions Forum) and run stuff on it. I play World of Warcraft and also use Adobe PS, Illustrator and InDesign too, if stating these helps.

*if I have anything else i will edit stuff in these areas to help you guys further.

So the first thing that I am looking for in the market is a mobo (mother board, for those people who don't know what a mobo is, no offense). Please tell me what stuff is onboard or give me a link to the product page or review

Wow this one is really good. Is there anything like this (or just below this) which will be a bit cheaper than this? I mean the thing has everything that I need, more than that if i should say. I dont wanna get more than what I need and squander all of my cash on the mobo and blame myself for getting other stuff for the pc which is low-end.

Please dont ask me whats my budget because i myself dont know. I am just buying stuff as i get it (some from my salary and some from my pocket money - yea i get both..). This is because I am not in a rush or anything.

Just curious as to this mobo has 8 USB ports? (Green Box)

Whats the stuff in red boxes?

Okay guys.. if no motherboards then suggestions on chipsets please?

the red boxes = digital audio outputs. One is Dolby Digital and the other is generic digital signal.

Oh, and that one port above the USB ports in red is a mini-DVI connector (or mini-HDMI? Not sure.)

If you want, PM/IM me and I can help you pick out good parts/low price on tigerdirect, etc... (I'm being nice today, as I'm bored form being out of work from getting hit by a car xD. Enjoy while it lasts, rofl).
