With this in mind, what's a good motherboard choice for someone building a system from scratch? I'd like it to be as future-proof as possible - so PCI-e is a given - but what about CPU socket choice? Is Socket 939 going to remain 'current' for a while, or would I be better to go for something like this AM2 I've been reading about?

Anything else to watch out for when trying to make a system that I can easily upgrade for a few years without throwing out large bigs of it?
