Intel or AMD? Based on your sig I'd imagine AMD?!

This was one of the only ones, at least for non AMD64 CPUS...

HERE is an AMD board with all of those things. It's the only one I trust that has them that I could find. I say you should just get a good board that has onboard SATA and install a cheap video card since you don't seem to be a gamer.

You're going to have to do some looking to find a good name brand with those features. SATA / RAID, and on-board video arn't usualy used in the same sentince. SATA being somwhat advanced, and on-board video being used for basic / workstation / el-cheapo builds. I would go with Hi Ho. Get a good board in your price range that has everything else you want, and slip in a cheap video card.

You can get a pretty cheap video card for $10-20...so it might be better to do that,plus you will more than likely getter an overall better build.

what does a video card exactly effect? i mean, im pretty sure i won't be playing much of any games (maybe now and then). does a video card effect anything else other than gaming? like watching dvds, videos etc. anyone recomment me one around $50? thanks.

Any graphically related thing is affected by the video card...so basically anything you can see through your monitor, Games, DVDs, Video Files. A better video card will pretty much just play games better, any 2D applications such as Windows XP, Internet Explorer, will all look the same on mos any video card.
