Hey everyone, this is the first time ive posted something on this forum and it also is the first time ive built a computer. But since im not much of a computer gneius, luckily for me my bro is a genius and knows a fair bit about them and built multiple computer but the only problem is that he is never home and very busy. So i will mainly will be using the computer for CAD programs like revit, inventor, 3ds max design and when i get bored games, so i have chosen everything apart from the motherboard. So you have some background info my build will be:

So thats my build so far, im intrested if its all compatable, im pretty sure it is but im not an expert so cant say for sure. I dont really want to pay over 250 for a motherboard, i dont even know what Overclocking really is and personally dont see the point of it so the board doesnt have to have any special features for that. And preferably a motherboard that is on umart would be awesome so then i can order it all at once instead of mutpiltes different places. From what ive read i definetly need it to have a LGA 1155 socket, and Z68 chipset seems to be the best due to it having all the features of the previous chipsets and the new thing for the SSD's. The boards ive looked at so far are:

ASRock Z68 Extreme4-Gen3 Z68: http://www.umart.com.au/pro/produc [.] &sid=78697
Im liking the ASRock z68 Extreme4 Gen 3 so far but im not sure if it supports my gpu and ram? A main question im not sure about is that do all DRR3 Ram slots support or DDDR3 ram or do certain motherboard dont like certain model or brands of ram? And the same goes with the PCI slot? But since i dont really know what to look for in a motherboard, im not sure if the ones ive looked at are liked an overkill for what I need, but they seem or compatible. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Heaps
