Help in buying components :)

Hello everybody. I am new to the forum (just registered).

I am looking to build a new hackintosh in the next few weeks and having read some of the comments and guides I have some finalizing questions:

So far this is what I am looking at:

Intel Core i5-2400 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... =CP-362-IN
AMD Radeon HD 5770 - had this card for a year and don't want to use it in the hackintosh
Corsair Vengence Blu 1600Mhz DDR3 (8GB) - (or other RAM, haven't really decided yet)

The CustoMac guide #3 seems to be suitable as it contains the same CPU and Graphics Card...

I am not so sure about the motherboard as it seems small. Is there an advantage in getting a larger motherboard as I am getting a big case anyway?
Which other motherboards are compatible and recommended apart from the one listed in the user guide?

Thanks in advance for comments, ideas, views
