Can you tell me the best MOBO for my 1st build?

Here's my build:

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz Socket AM2 65W Dual-Core Black Edition

Case: COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW

Memory: A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s

PSU: SeaSonic SS-500ES ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 500W Power Supply

I will be using this as a budget (obviously) gaming rig. I'd like to be able to OC a little as well. Also, I don't care to SLI. I just want a good all around gaming MOBO for an 8800gt or something comparable.
 
The GA-M61P-S3 works for me for now. Runs UT3 and Race07 really great. May go to the GA-M57SLI-S4 if I decide to go SLI.
