What motherboard and processor do i need?

[dark_flip]

What motherboard do i use...I'm trying to put together a system, this is where i stand so far:
Power Supply: Antec 480W Power Supply with Blue LED Fan True Blue $86.50
Case: Aspire X-Infinity Black ATX Mid-Tower Case $56.50
Hard Drive: Western Digital Raptor 74GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive $152.00
DVD-Burner: Lite-On 16X DVD Dual Drive, Model SOHW-1633S Black, Retail $65.00

I'm really not sure if I want AMD or Pentium 4...but I've read some of the guides and what not and I'm so confused by AMD...I actually understand Pentium 4...the two boards that I've actually looked at are the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe and the ASUS P4C800 Deluxe-E, not sure what the differences are between the two...but what processor do I need with these boards...and are these good boards? I'm lost with motherboards and processors...i don't even know where to start what is the latest and greatest technology are these two boards outdated? Give me some feedback...

there is not much differance between the two boards, to see in detail, just go to the asus web site and read the info on the two boards, or if you want the real detail, you can also download the user manual for each board and read to your hearts content.

as for the cpu, any p4 that you want will work just fine, I would recommend any with the northwood core, as they will run the coolest of all of them.

you can see by my sig that I am one who likes the asus boards.
