How about i just tell you what ATX motherboard i have in mind. And then anyone can comment back with the components you think would be a good match for them ? My budget is $1,000.00 U.S. My motherboard in mind Intel BOXDP45SG LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121355
Intel boards aren't very good, I'd go with a Gigabyte or an Asus instead. What intended uses do you have for the system?
