Awsome!! Thanks a lot for the replies. I want to get me a motherboard that can support a high-end graphic, just one, so I can play some games like: Dawn of War II, Call of Duty 4 or 5, Crysis, or Left 4 Dead. I found a motherboard from AMD since AMD is pretty cheap while Intel is pretty off the charts with price, and it seems I got the Quad-Core for a good price (most of the shopping I do is from Newegg).
I also was wondering about the graphic card, forgot to mention that. Since PCI 2.0 x16 is for--graphic cards (I think) I was wondering if the Geforce GTX 260 is able to connect to the motherboard and...fit in a mid-tower.
Would there be any better graphic card better than Geforce GTX 260 because I'll look for anything that's below $200 and better.

Motherboard:
Newegg.com - ASUS M3A78-EM AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - AMD Motherboards

Graphic Card:
Newegg.com - EVGA 896-P3-1260-AR GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

CPU:
Newegg.com - AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 2MB L3 Cache Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

P.S: Is the Geforce GTX 260 better than ATI's 4670 HD???

Sincerely,
Geeksire
