Looking to build a new comp......

So I'm looking to build my first computer. After many years of taking my own computer apart I know that basics of most of the components. But one thing I am still not sure about is the CPU-Motherboard compatibility. How do I know when I'm shopping for a CPU what motherboard will be compatible with it or vice-versa. Are their certain numbers I should look for on the motherboard that will tell me the CPU type that it is compatible with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My most amazing Xmas present ever....

This yuletide season started off a little hairy for us...money was tight bills were due. We managed to some how pull it off and the kids had a great day. I don't think the joy in their eyes on Dec. 25th could even compare to the joy that I received yesterday.
For those of you who have talked to me at length may know that I have a 16 year old daughter that I gave up for adoption at birth. If you weren't aware, it's just because it's something that hasn't come up in conversations, as it's not something I've ever hide. I had contact with the family that I chose to raise my baby for almost 10 years. Due to some staffing changes in the South Carolina office, we lost touch about 6 years ago. While this broke my heart...I moved on and kept reminding myself her 18th birthday is coming soon...and I had all the hope in the world that she will want to find me when she is able.
I was a complete slacker and didn't touch my email much over the holiday and the following weekend. On Sunday I noticed I had a new friend request and an message. I just looked over as I do most myspace things at first. I figured I'd check it later. I walk into work yesterday morning, open my Outlook (work email) and then open Yahoo Messenger....which reminds me I have mail...so I open that bad boy up and see the myspace reminder...ok let's see who this is....
If you haven't already guessed...yes the add and message were from my daughter!!!!!!!! I spent most of my day yesterday chatting with her on instant messanger then a good 3-4 hours last night on the phone with her. I can't even begin to tell you how much joy this has brought me...Xmas 2008 will go down in the history books for me.
Here are a few pictures of my first born I'd like to share with my second family...

She has grown into such a wonderful young lady. She's smart, she's beautiful..and a bit of proof heredity can sometimes outweigh environment she has the EXACT same personality as Mia, and I. The connection between us and the connection with her little sister were instant.
So that my friends was my xmas miracle, no it wasn't a chain saw...nor a fishing pole...but the gift of a complete heart, having all 3 of my children in my life.

Let's see: We had planned to go to Palm Springs and Yuma to visit family for the holiday. We left on Dec 20 went to Palm Springs had a great time at a resort and hanging around there with my brother and his wife. This is where things started to get weird. When we arrived at Yuma late on Dec 22 it was dark and the lights were not working properly at my In-laws. Since my youngest son (17 yrs) was asleep we left him at the In-laws with my hubby's aunt and uncle there as well, then my hubby, older son and I went over to the house that we were staying at; it was just a couple blocks away. At 2 am on Dec 23 my youngest son called my cell phone.
There was a house fire at my In-laws. My mother in law is a light sleeper and woke up smelling smoke. The fire alarms never did go off. Everyone got out ok but the place was destroyed. My youngest son called 911 and the firefighters responded quickly and were very good at what they did. The structure is still standing but the inside is gutted. We spent the rest of the vacation helping them recover from their losses.
It gave new meaning to the season of renewal for all of us. I am very thankful for the life of my son and that of my In Laws (all jokes aside for the moment). Nothing else matters...go hug your loved ones. I have been spending more time just enjoying my children's company this last week and we are all glad to be home safe and sound.
So we are back from the south, I had more excitement there than I was expecting and did a few things I was surprised by;
I dune buggied for a day in the desert with my family and a guide...Intense fun exploring an old abandoned mine, my first time in a dune buggy (luckily no one could hear me screaming when we were doing scary things or my sons would've made fun of me). This was our gift from my hubby's parents for xmas.
I did not eat snake or squirrel (which were on one of the menus) but I did eat 'grits' and cornbread and I drank a milkshake made from dates.
I recieved a proposal of marriage from a guy who looked to be aprox. 90 years old...and had to turn him down.
Though we got lost on the way back to Palm Springs from Yuma and found an interesting wind farm in the process we did make our plane (cause it was delayed a couple of hrs) and no harm was done there.
All in all though the weather is dangerous here (-30C today) I prefer the safety of the north (though they sure cook ribs well in Arizona)

Computer Assistance?!

I'm trying for the first time to build a comp, if this set-up does work it'll be a HUGE upgrade from my current computer. Of course I'm trying to keep costs low, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't laugh too much!
