Building a Computer...

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.

If you are curious, here is what I have picked out.

Motherboard: Intel DP35DPM Socket 775 ATX

Video Card: XFX GeForce 8600GTS 256MB DDR3
CD/DVD Drive: AOpen DSW1812PL Lightscribe DVD Burner
