I've decided to spend a little more money and delay future upgrades. I am under the impression that my mobo is quite "outdated" at this point in time. I need a microATX AM3 board that will allow me to use the Mini P180's front panel features. I want to keep it around $115 max. Any suggestions...

Ok, thank you all for the input.

Danny, Ok, I'll get that then. I don't think it comes with thermal compound. Is there a specific one that stands out of the crowd, or all they all equally effective? HardwareGuru, Shouldn't I stick with my earlier choice of RAM...

I'll mostly be watching movie+tv shows, but I'll game from time to time. No photo/video work though. Because of that, I'm not sure if I should buy an IPS screen since my budget is a bit tight. Mainly looking for something less than $250. I have $400 after rebates and all to get a new monitor and...
