You can save some money with a P8Z68-V LE or P8Z68-V.

Buy Online - ASUSTEK ASUS MB/P8Z68-V LE Intel P8Z68-V LE- from Elara Online Ireland
Buy Online - ASUSTEK Asus Motherboard P8Z68-V P8Z68-V- from Elara Online Ireland

I would replace the Blue drive with a Black - SATA 6.0 and 64mb cache.

Buy Online - WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLACK 1TB 64MB 3.5 WD1002FAEX- from Elara Online Ireland

Recommended ram is Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 1.5 volt.

Buy Online - CORSAIR Corsair Vengeance Perform CML8GX3M2A1600C9- from Elara Online Ireland

EDIT: If not overclocking you can get the i5-2300, 2400, or 2500.

I was just looking at the other motherboards , Is there any diff in quality? theres a bit of price diff there.

And if theres no diff i will see about the ram and hard drive.

No diff in quality, just features.

Looks fine!

That's a good wireless card if you have a "G" router - if you have a "N" router a "N" card would serve you better.

I have no clue what router type i have but its a netopia 2200 series 2247NWG.
I have a ps3 which uses a G type and works great online so i think this one should be fine.
