OT: I need a new motherboard.

800W is overkill for non-SLI systems. With the recent trends towards sane power management in the CPU and other components, modern systems don't actually generate quite as much heat, and fans don't generally have to work as hard. 450-500W is more than most systems will ever need. The 350W one in the Ars budget box config is a bit skimpy, though. The manufacturer's reputation for build quality is the most important thing, rather than raw wattage.

It uses DDR. So I'll be buying a motherboard, processor and ram shortly (Today).

I'll have it by friday.
