I'm building a new rig and I've never been very good at finding compatible parts, so I've been asking around for help and I've put together all the parts I need. The only thing I need is a Intel Motherboard that will support all the pieces I've put together and I don't have the confidence to pick one myself, if any of you would help find me one on Newegg it would be much appreciated.

the q9450 is a wast, grab a q6600, if you are overclocking also it will be easier to overclock then the q9450 as it has low fsb holes and a low multiplyer. Grab a 550vx for the psu...that mobo is fine, but im not sure how well it will overclock, if u are overclocking then pick up a asus p5k.
So you can guarantee it will work with 4GB Duel Channel DDR2 RAM, an ATI HD 4870, and an Intel Quad Core?
i can't see any major problems, but, i've only had a quick look what i did notice is: you have selected 1 SATA DVD-ROM & 1 IDE DVD+/-RW drives, why? you may as well get 2 IDE drives, because an optical drive is slower than both IDE & SATA aswell i noticed the PSU only has dual rails, although, the PSU output appear fine if they are to be believed. personally i have a single core intel @3Ghz power very easily by an Antec TP II Trio 550W
