What motherboard would best suit my needs?

I'm going to be building a new system shortly, and with the discontinuation of the P35-DS3L I have no clue what motherboard to buy. I am going to get an E8400, 8800gt, and 2 gb of RAM. I do not need a 780i/x38/x48 chipset, and I do not plan on running SLI in the future. I am looking for a reliable board that is in the sub 200$ price range. I was looking at the ABIT IP-35 Pro, however I was wondering if there are any better/cheaper motherboards that suit my needs. Thanks!
 
get a Asus P5Q variation(P45 based). They are getting mad oc's from the Deluxe version. I think these boards are getting in the 600's FSB. I think there are many posts about it on Xtreme systems and hardforum.
 
The big three all have their P45 boards out in the wild now so there would be little sense in getting a P35. Have a look at the

MSI P45 Neo F

Biostar

Asus P5Q

All of the above will be a good choice for you're needs. I like some of the cool additions to the MSI P45 Bios here.
 
So you would all recommend getting this motherboard? If not, what would you recommend?

P5Q Pro

It comes out to the same cost as the regular P5Q because of a 20$ combo deal with the E8400.

Edit: I should learn to hyperlink =P.
