There area few things to consider...
Intel or AMD
What socket your processor is...
ATX or mATX
How many module ports it needs (RAM Ports)
Whether it needs SATA &/or IDE connectors#
PS2 connectors or just USB
Get back with that information and maybe we can help
Thanks, Lew.Im not here to be loved, I love to be hated :-}

Intel or AMD Personally prefer Intenl
What socket your processor is... I've seen on some "bundles" they include a processor, If not then i'd like a fairly decent processor to work with DDR3
ATX or mATX ATX
How many module ports it needs (RAM Ports) 2-3
Whether it needs SATA &/or IDE connectors Both please
PS2 connectors or just USB USB

Do you want USB 3.0 as well or just 2.0?

I think usb 2.0 will prob do to be fair.

Probably this (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/193509) then.
Lets you use an i3/i5 or i7 with the LGA 1156 chipset, It has both IDE and SATA, lets you run 2200+MHz DDR3 RAM (4 slots) and it also has USB 3.0 (although you said it didn't matter).

What processor and intercooler would i put with that?
Plus it supports up to 16gb of ram, So that'd be 4x4gb sticks?
-
Processor wise I would probably go for an i5 660 (http://www.ebuyer.com/product/185940) - It would come with a stock cooler but I don't really have any knowledge of using an aftermarket cooler.
Yeah, that would make up the 16GB.

Also, you wont need an additional network card unless you still use dial up?
