I'm just wondering if it's necessary to spend lots of money on a motherboard when I found one that's compatible with I need it to be compatible with. Specifically I'm deciding what motherboard I should get that would work with an amd fx 8120 processor and a GeForce GTX 460 graphics card. I've narrowed my focus down to two main candidates, the ASUS M5A99X EVO or the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3. So, my question is, if the motherboard is compatible with everything you want it to be compatible with, does quality/price matter? And, if you think these motherboards are good choices which do you think will be better? Thanks in advance!

I think the quality of motherboards dont directly matter on gaming performance. But the motherboards should be compatible with your main gaming hardwares i.e, CPU, GPU and Memory. So you can say Motherboards indirectly interfere on gaming performance. Have you ever seen Motherboard requirements on any game? So, dont look for a gaming Motherboard. You should buy a Motherboard which is compatible with latest gaming hardwares. Google for Asus or Gigabyte.

Can someone tell me the least expensive gaming computer they can think of that can play high-end games very smoothly such as WoW, Aion, and most importantly the upcoming Star Wars: The Old Republic.
I dont know much about computer specs so thats why im asking you guys out there what you think.

Forget about mac's and linux ha-ha lol. You need a gaming computer not facebook hogger. Good price range for gaming computers is $900-1200 - here you will get nice performance and will not overpay too much for what you don't need.
Surprisingly Athlon II X3 and X4 processors show good results in gaming if you want to go fora low budget. Little bit higher will be Phenom II X4 (like 955 is a good one) and Intel Core i5 750, even better but more costly will be i7 setups (both LGA1156 and 1366 sockets). I would stick with i5 750 or Phenom X4.
As for the memory - 4GB is enough today, not much performance increase from 8GB and RAM is expensive now. For LGA1366 Core i7 of course 6GB triple channel is a RAM of choice.
Videocard - will have significant influence on gaming. I would recommend at least GeForce GTS 250 or ATI 5750, ATI 5770, 5830. No need to shoot for GTX 470 or similar in your case.
Power supply - at least 550W of reliable brand like Antec or Cooler Master
Good case with good cooling (antec 300, Cooler Master Scout, ANtec 900...)
Hard drive does not matter - get what you feel you will need. 500GB usually enough
