Could someone please help me find a matching motherboard with this cpu:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115041

and this video card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150311

(Just using a link to newegg, I know TigerDirect has it for 470$ + CoD4 PC for free)

These will run well together right?

I also plan on getting 2 more gbs of ram in addition to the 2 I already have.

If at all, how well can this run Crysis (Just using as a maximum, ie if it can run Crysis well it can run most everything well).

I'm using Vista Home Premium

Thanks

If you havent bought the gtx280 yet, wait 3 more days for the R700 (4870x2). It outperforms the gtx280 by far and for the same price (around the same $499-549). So expect another price drop for the gtx280.

And this is a perfect mobo.

Thanks for the tip, and thanks a bunch for finding me a motherboard :D

Edit: Also, do you think the 4870 and CPU will go down in price temporarily for Black Friday?

That card would still be overpriced at 350$.

Will the ATI R700 and the Intel CPU I stated work with that same motherboard?

Yes, since both use a pci-e slot. And by both i mean the GTX280 and R700.
