Unless Asus has changed the quality control Ive found most of that Asus boards Ive purchased to be a bit on the flaky side,Gigabit And Biostar make decent boards and what I have had my best luck with.Also ASROCK has some very decent boards that Ive used in builds.Just stay away from there cheap line.My strategy for picking out a mother board is to go in between the least and the most expensive if Im on a tight budget.I would also read product reviews before making a decision to pick out a mother board.
Power supply would go with 450-500 watts and there are several quality brands out there.
Depending on what your budget is your going to pay more for Intel chip that you will AMD.That doesnt AMD is inferior to INTEL its just a matter of preference.
I hope that my advice helps and Good luck with your build.
