I'm totally confused when it comes to selecting a mobo. If I'm going for an Intel Dual Core E7400 for example, then what's the difference between an Intel G31 mobo and GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2C 1333 FSB Mobo? Considering I'll want 3-4gb of ram, space for a tv card and I'd like 6-8 usb ports. I'm using it the machine for developing purposes c#, visual studio etc...

It's the same with heatsinks , when shopping on Evetech I can select the standard heat sink, or something else by Cooler Master bundle. But i don't know which one to pick.

I last built a pc 9 years ago, but these days there's so much more to choose from. What's your view or recommendation?
 
Purely on logical reasoning here, it looks like both the boards are G31 but one is Gigabyte and the other is Intel...

You may want to speak to PostmanPot (look at my sig)
