Every time you ask about building a new computer, there a few things to list:
> What is the MAXIUMUM amount of money you will spend (including shipping)
> What will the computer be PRIMARILY used for?
> What other functions will the computer be used for?
Thing about what operating system to get, Do you think you will use more then 16GB of RAM? If so, then you MUST upgrade to Windows 7 Pro or Ultimate. Windows 7 Home Premium can ONLY see 16GB of RAM MAX (according to my buddy who works for M$ and he said there is no tweak either). If not, then Home Premium is fine.
That will help you determine what mobo you will get. It makes no sense on spending money on mobo's that allow for over 16GB of RAM if you aren't going to get win 7 pro or ultimate.
I'm personally an intel guy all the way. Getting the 2500K's a good CPU. Regardless of what CPU you get, I'm a fan of getting an aftermarket cooler.
