Upgrading Mobo, need recommendation

[spherific]

Hello, I plan on upgrading my CPU, Mobo, and video card. I've picked up my cpu and video card so far

XFX GeForce 7900GS 256MB and AMD Opteron 165 Denmark 1.8GHz.

I need one that supports socket 939, has 2 SATA slots that can be setup in raid 0, x16 pci-e slot, and at least 1 regular PCI slot.

There are a bunch of socket 939 mobos listed on newegg's site (i plan to buy from there) and I don't know which one is good.

Thanks for reading this!

Get a motherboard with the nForce4 (regular, ultra or SLI) chipset.
Do not buy a Via or SIS chipset board.
This pretty much means getting a $150 Asus, a group of reasonably priced Foxconn choices, or one of the DFIs. An NVidia 6100/6150 is a pretty good chipset, but you won't need the integrated video. I'd have no problems recommending the Foxconn boards. They are a major OEM supplier, though less known as a direct marketer.

Would the BIOSTAR GEFORCE 6100-M9 or Foxconn 6150K8MA-8EKRS be a better choice? I've narrowed it down to these 2. All the nForce4 socket 939 boards listed on newegg have bad Ocing capabilities.

Nope, you got that backwards. nF4 boards in general OC just fine. Yes, all the old favorites are gone. I'd avoid the ECS and Jetway boards, but the Foxconns should be fine. Motherboards with integrated graphics do not overclock well. One other choice:
MSI K8N NEO-4
