Mobo for E6600?

First post even though I've been around for quite some time.... I will buy an E6600 and 2x1gb ddr667 ram first week of december to replace my current AMD64 3200 and eVGA K8-NF41-AX mobo.

My post concerns the right mobo for around 80.00 to US$100.00... I was going for Asrock ConRoeXFire but some people tell me to get nForce 570 and others tell me to wait for nForce 6xx series.

I believe nForce 6x series will be way above my budget, thats why I decided to post here so you guys can tell me what would be the best bang for buck for that price. All I ask is for 3 PCI slots for audio, tv tuner and WiFi cards!

Thx in Advance!
 
As far as the new mobos go we wont know pricing till they come out. My guess there will be a budget version of the 600series for those that want to go cheap.
 
If you're spending the $300 for an E6600, please spend the extra $30 and get a good motherboard like the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
 
Thx for replies, I though I might add a little something to aid people in what Im trying to get.

I decided to go light on mobo because I never end up using any of their features, I do very little and sometimes no OC at all. Also my pc is not used for testing hardware or benchmarking... basics is pretty much what I need: 3 PCI slots, 4 ram slots, good sata (raid) support, PCI-E 16x slot and most important of all a strong chipset.

I've heard nForce mobos are easier on sata and raid than intel mobo's, thats why I've been paying attention to that ECS 570 mobo. But the Gigabyte is still a strong candidate.

I also picked E6600 cause of the 4gb cache, which might come handy later on... I hope all this info helps clear my mobo needs and it makes you easier to pick the right mobo for me!

10x in advance!
