The Asus A8N5X should do the trick.

I'm a fan of Asus but there are certainly other good manufacturers, including DFI and Abit.

It really comes down to the features you want. You probably don't need to spend extra on the "premium" model unless you really want a certain feature. Since you're using an ATI card, you don't need SLI. What is the budget?

i've been saving for awhile, so money is not a issue, i just want the last and greatest.

Well here are a few things to think about.

Do you have a paralelle port printer? If not, you don't need a motherboard with that option. Some new ones have extra USB ports insted.

Do you need, or want a Fireware port?

Do you use PS/2 keyboards and mice or USB?

Do you need 1 or 2 IDE channels? If your hard drives are all SATA and you're only using one or two opitcal drives, you might only need 1.

There are a lot of good motherboards. It really depends on what you want. Once we have an idea of that, we can give you a smaller list of brands and models.

My mouse and printer will be USB, I will using a Sata hardrive, i'm not really sure what your talking about opitical drives.

Latest and greatest? The Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe with Crossfire would fit that bill. It would give you the option of adding a second video card down the road.
