----> Planned to buy Intel i5 2320/2400, fixed budget for that. After a lot of reviews for AMD Vs Intel for this range, and for my purposes.
For new Motherboard i am very confused
after looking at many MB from various manufacturers. want
-->Best speed/support for i5 processor
--> Never need to Overclock, so must be stablea and long lasting.
-->Preferably intel
[ mine first is also intel board, since 8 years and still working 
]
-->IDE/PATA slots if available, cos i have 2 old HDDs with PATA plug .[ ide not a must, cos 1TB is SATA]
-->Can someone please explain various intel chipsets H67, P67 or Z68 for the i5 CPU, their price /benefits....
-->USB 3 welcomed
-->FUTURRE Upgradability is very IMPORANT for me, more PCI , RAM, SATA slots, & IDE if available. Must support good GPU [mid/high] in near future.
--> 2x4 gb RAM DDR3
-->Simple Cheapest cabinet = I will buy locally after local search.
-->Simple PSU, NOT for overclocking. Can my current UMAX 450W PSU support it now if i dont overclock it or without a GPU ?
After a long time i am posting to Digit Forum, Previously i was an active member for short time here,
So in short i need Stable, long lasting, cool, Near future proof , non overclocking, Photo/video editing/ viewing system.
Thanks ,
