Since the mother is an ATX most motherboards should fit in there. It looks to be a good machine, Specs Gateway Support - Specifications, The best processor you can get in that machine is a Core 2 Quad and max the ram out to 8GB.
As far as a can tell by searching for your computer, it has an old LGA775 socket.
So you plan on upgrading your CPU later and you are staying on the old 775 socket motherboard. Is that it?
I don't think that that's what you want sense you could just upgrade the CPU sing your current motherboard.
In case you are planing on a more modern setup, will have to rethink your purchase.
You can't put in a modern motherboard and expect it to support your current older CPU.
You will have to upgrade the motherboard and the CPU at the same time.

Ok!! that what i was thinking to get a more up to date motherboard that can support my cpu what i got now an also be able to support a more uptodate cpu later down the road.... just was wonder if a more up to date motherboard can work in this casing i got now.
ok so would it be possible that it would be able to support the cpu that i got now.. then if i choose to upgrade the cpu to say a intel i5 would it also still be able to work
