Thats a pretty open ended question - there's about a million of them out there and the majority of them are good.

First, you need to know what your priorities are: price?? compatibility?? what chipset?? what operating system?? do you want RAID??, do you want DDR support?? what are you using the machine for?? Do you plan on overclocking??

My suggestion - If you haven't built a computer before, go with an Intel 815 chipset based board with basic SDRAM support. Stay away from RAID systems, kinda tricky to set up. Also, stick with one of the name brands: Asus, Abit, MSI, Epox, Iwill, etc. Check the websites, and check out some product reviews, then buy the one that seems to have the features you are looking for.
