Okay, well I have made about 10 gazillion threads regarding builds and parts, and I keep changing my mind, I think I am making my final decision on my gaming PC. I need advice and suggestions on this, and I want to know what you think of it. This is my FIRST computer I have ever built

I already have a case, Antec Three Hundred Illusion. BUT, I have no motherboard. I am not very familiar with motherboards and don't know much about them. So, I need someone to find me the BEST board for this build, for say $150. (Or less.) Feedback is very appreciated. THANKS!
