So this is the first time I am building a computer, and I have a nice array of parts picked out.
But when it comes motherboards, I am confused. I know I don't need a modem (i think?) as I will be using a DSL/Cable connection. Or do I still need one? Also, here is my processor:

Do I need to buy a modem?
Do I need to buy an ethernet card?
Any help would be appreciated.
