Alright, so i'm thinking of upgrading my PC's motherboard.
The one I have now is complete junk.
If you want to see why check it out: http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M2N68AM_PLUS/
(8GB ram max DDR2, and the price for 2x 4GB ram sticks from what I found on crucial is over $200 for current motherboard)
Parts I plan on upgrading to: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3fGMN
If I missed something or you think I need to make some changes let me know.

Looks okay. I would recommend you go for a better processor though.
The 945 is very good for it's price but it is also very old and becoming outdated.
I would look into saving up some more cash or taking a look at the second hand market and see if i could pickup either a 8120 or any of the x6's

Theres only 2 RAM slots in this motherboard, and for the price of 2 4GB ram sticks I can just completely upgrade the motherboard.
4GBx2 ram stick prices:

That motherboard is sweet, will last you a long ass time. That processor however, hoh.... That shit is very old dude, the 945 is going to be an outdated processor in the next few months probably. I recommend getting something from the AMD FX series.
