shahadithyab- Please post your full computer configuration? And budget for PSU? A really nice PSU that i may be able to suggest (esp without any more information from you) will be the Corsair HX750 (or something similar/better).

Cheapest but how cheap- as in budget? Usually a motherboard has 3x PCI slots these days when it is ATX. And an ATX motherboard with onboard graphics is not exactly cheaply priced imho. If you can manage with 2x PCI slots (plus a PCIe x16 and x1)- Sempron 140/145 - 1.8K approx (single core but...

nikrusty- you got some wrong model, DarkAngel suggested ASUS M4A88T-M ASUSTeK Computer Inc. It has 6 SATA ports that are placed closer to the edge of the pcb and away from the PCIe slot.

This is simply wow. :)

AM3 support, DDR2 and AMD chipset? Please check if this is available- ASUS M4A785D-M PRO ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

The integrated graphics is good enough for watching HD movies iirc- hopefully you will be adding a good graphics card later that should take care of your gaming requirements. Choose a good PSU now depending on the card you may get later and the power/connector requirements then. Also, looking...

Re: New Rig If you do plan to upgrade now and will use your existing graphics card or buy a new one, you can get a good ATX motherboard. ASUS M4A87TD/USB3 - 5.7K approx (ATX, SB850, SATA 6Gbps, USB 3.0, Core Unlocker, EPU for power saving, ...) ASUSTeK Computer Inc. 2x 2GB Corsair DDR3...

What is your budget Quad Master? Will you be using water-cooling? For now, if you can afford it and it's available too, Obsidian 800D for sure. :)

Looking at the computer you have, your requirements, i feel a core i3 based computer should also be good for you. You should try and get at least a 22" 1080P LCD monitor for watching HD movies. Also, please decide how much you want to spend as some may want to suggest something very...

Are all the new batches of X2 555 BE unlocking succesfully? If not, then maybe an i3 530/540 setup makes more sense, also due to the lower power consumption. Intel Core i5 530 ASUS P7H55 (ATX, EPU for power saving, ...) ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Corsair 2x 2GB DDR3 1333MHz/1600MHz GTS450 500GB/1TB...

Since you have a decent gfx card, you can get a good motherboard, 1TB HDD, a good PSU and a case with decent ventilation in your budget. You may get a GTS450 if you want to upgrade the gfx card. Intel Core i5 760 ASUS P7H55 (ATX, 4x RAM slots, EPU for power saving, ...) ASUSTeK Computer Inc...

OP mentioned for gaming and downloading and seemed keen on getting Intel and Nvidia. Bench - CPU - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News The power consumption figures at idle and load should also be considered though this comparo doesn't list it unfortunately.
