Look great. Motherboard doesn't really matter. Might want to get one with USB 3.0 and AM3+ socket for future use.

Neither AMD nor Intel makes motherboards by the way. They make processors, and AMD makes graphic cards too, but that's unrelated.
What you should be looking at on the Motherboard is the sockets. Because that's what the processor connects to, every procesor has a certain socket that it connects to, attempt at connecting it to any other kind would break the processor.
Also, Fractal Design Define R3 is my favourite case ever.

1. Yus I know it's not a NVIDIA case but that's what I call it because I have looked at multiple Cooler Master cases and wanted to differentiate between them.
2. That's what I meant, but I just refer to it by that.
Now for the important stuff.
USB 3.0 is a must. And, my PCU has an AM3. I believe that AM3+ is backward compatible with AM3 so yeah I might as well get an AM3+ socket. WTF CLASS IS ENDING AGAIN D: but here is one I found. Yes or No?
Not sure if it has an AM3 socket because I gtg.

Nope, says Intel in the name, silly.

Hahahahah is that why the socket was "LGA something"?
I'll find another one in a sec.

That motherboard was tiny and overpriced -_-
But I love that side panel

AHHHH TOO MANYYYYYYY!!!! Ok i'm not trying to complain here but I really don't know where to start. There's a lot of price ranges, that must mean something. When I go to Newegg and refine the search to Motherboards-->AMD Motherboards-->Phenom II (because mine is a Phenom II). I get only 9 choices and they don't seem to popular or rated very good. So I go back to just AMD Motherboards and now there are tons. So i'll keep looking but do I have to select my CPU Type? I know I have to get a AM3 or AM3+ (because it's backwards compatible).
Thanks

Look in CPU socket type AM3+ instead. Here is one that I think looks good http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128510

I was actually looking this one (or a similar GIGABYTE). xD I don't know why I didn't keep it on my list *scratches head*...
Now the only thing left really is the power supply. I think this one might be adequate. CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX750
Thanks!
