Hey... I currently have

3GB RAM
Club3d HD4850 512mb Overclocked Edition
580W PSU
Asus P5LD2-X/1333 motherboard

And i really, really need a new mobo to upgrade to a quad core cpu.
So i need one that supports quad core, has integrated sound card (5.1), Has at least 2 ram sockets, at least 1 pci express 2.0 socket, integrated Ethernet/internet or whatever it was and anything else to support my current pc components.

So... here's the thing... how do i know what motherboard to buy to be sure it is compatible with the gpu,cpu etc.

You can now mark the thread solved if it feels like that. You can "un-solve" it later if you have further questions.

Don't forget you need to reinstall your OS when you swap motherboards.

As good as any... Motherboard mainly affects your overclocking limits and connectivity (USB ports, expansion slots, etc)...
