If you think you'll be an upgrader then don't skimp on the motherboard, get something high end and fill it with mid-range components.
On the other hand if you'll just use the one machine until it runs into the ground then get a mid-range mobo and fill it with the best components it can support.

Which method do you prefer? I really have no experience building my own PC, so I don't know the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
