Ok, so i changed my CPU to an i5 2500k. I also used your performance sight to find a different GPU, and chose the GeForce GTX 465 (Fermi).  And honestly I dont want to Over clock so I got rid of the cooler.  So what would be a good motherboard for it

What. No. GTX 465 is pretty much the only BAD choice you could have made out of many possible good choices (460, 560, 6870, 6950)

Use this chart:

Anything not on the scale is poor value.

A godo motherboard is the cheapest one made by Asus, Gigabyte or MSI that supports your CPU.

I assumed he went with that card because he didnt want to spend over $200 on a graphics card, and wants Nvidia.  I honestly don't know shit about Nvidia cards, so I'm assuming you are correct =D.
