I want a motherboard that is an excellent overclocker... Going to overclock E6600 to 3.8Ghz- 4Ghz.

DFI RD600 , Gigabyte 6QD , EVGA 680i , Asus 650i ... ect ?

I will not buy Asus 680i Striker since its doomed with design flaw and is overpriced like a hot hoochie.

I have 2GB of Corsair Dominator , Intel E6600 , Wavemaster Case , 600W PSU OCZ ... just need the best awesome motherboard.

It depends on what vid card(s) you want to run really.. And what features you look for in a board.

Some paths must be walked alone, grasshopper.

A hot hoochie is NEVER overpriced. Really overclocking to 3.8 to 4.0 depends on your cooling. Some of the cheaper boards like DS3 and asus P5B and so on can handle that FSB pretty easily. It's just that you need to cool it nicely to make it work... Even with a board like 680, you will still have problem doing this overclocking unless you have good cooling. You probably need water either way...
