going to replace my motherboard with a better one got this one that met my requirements when i bought everything else.
my cpu socket is 775 LGA intel
my ram is 4gb 800mhz frequency (probably going to upgrade that too)
my graphics card is a pci-express 2.0 x16 slot 4670HD Radeon
i need 3-4 pci slots for wireless card and sound card and other stuffs
it should support 4-8 gb of ram 1066mhz ram frequency or higher
it has to support the 775 LGA intel E8600 cpu
it has to have a 2.0 x16 express slot.
I do not need anything else don't mention getting a new cpu like an i7 or whatever, I would be grateful if you would help me out. I have searched some but wanted to see what others thought before I went ahead and bought what I have been looking at.

I used the asus you had there tet and it worked pretty good. I liked the DDR compatibility the most. Doesnt support the i-7 but thats not too bad. The onboard audio tho im not a fan of. If you can I'd suggest an upgrade if you can at some point. Realtek has been driving me crazy with the onboard ALC887 series. I hate the noise cancellation features that kick in automatically.

It should be pretty easy for you.  Just unclip the heatsink anchors, then unlock the cpu and remove.  Speaking of heatsinks, is yours stock?  Stock heatsinks are usually pretty crappy.  It's always a wise decision to buy a third party one.  Better airflow/heat dissipation.

And right now, until games really start utilizing multicore processors, it makes more sense to keep what you currently have.  If you were to upgrade to a quadcore processor about the only thing you would notice would be the empty spot in your wallet from shelling out all that cash.  You might see a slight performance increase, but the performance/spending cash ratio isn't worth it in my opinion.  Though I would definitely recommend using a 64 bit operating system so you can have more than 3.2 gigs of ram to abuse.
