Gearing up for Crysis, whats a good MB?

I am rebuilding for the Crysis game, whats a good MB these days? I will most likely be using a E6750, 8800gts, and I do overclock some, but not more than air can handle. I just want a reliable and easy to tweak MB. Thanks for the help. I am somewhat budget minded so I was thinking a board between $100-$200.
 
I just bought the Abit IP35-E for $70 after rebate from Newegg. I love it! Great looking and it doesnt have the annoying serial/com ports!! No NB or SB fans that will break down and sound like death in 6 months either! Just as good for OCing as the Gigabyte boards and with the rebate its MUCH cheaper.
 
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R or GA-P35C-DS3R:

Is the only difference between those boards DDR3 support? And if that is it is it really worth it since that memory is sky high and by the time it comes down it will be time to upgrade again or is there something else?
 
did you mean crossfire?

the ds3p doesn't officially support SLi
personally I would count on SLi working, not stably anyhow (you would be praying that someone would and could write drivers for SLi on an Intel chipset, it would be quite a feat)
