Can't Decide on Motherboard

[trinislacker]

CPU: Q6600
CPU Cooling: ultra 120-extreme with S-flex F
Ram:G.Skill CL5 4gb ddr2 800mhzLink
Monitor: Dell 2407
Case:Antec p182
PSU: Corsair 620hx

I would like to overclock to a minimum around 2.8-3.2 for 24/7 use with 1:1 ratio

I can't decide on what motherboard i should get

I'm not sure about video card as yet until after AMD launch this month but currently I'm leaning towards an 8800GT

Parts suppose to be purchased within 3-4 weeks from now

This rig would be used mostly for gaming and benching and would be my first rig where i would fully explore overclocking in preparation for my WC rig next year

I have a similar build. p182, corsair 620 watt, 2407 lcd, but an older c2d e6400. I went with the gigabyte p35-ds4 rev2 mobo. so far, so good. stable and lots of features.

Don't forget you won't see all of the 4GB of your RAM without Vista x64.

Thanks for the article but i'll wait till after Nvida Chipset launch next week before i make any decisions though it isn't a peroframnce improvement it might have better prices and more mature 680i bios either that or i might go with an x38 asus board since it seems to have less problems than p5k i like the p5k deluxe(p35) but i have to read up more about the raid and Sata problems
