ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe ATX LGA775 Conroe NFORCE4 SLI DDR2 2PCI-E16 SATA2 Sound 1394 Motherboard

or

Intel D975XBX ATX LGA775 975X DDR2 PCI-E16 SATA RAID Sound GBLAN 1394 Motherboard

or

Your choice of motherboard is dependant on what graphics card(s) you are going to get.
If you are going nVidia, the EVGA nForce 680 will do you just fine. If your going SLI then definetely get that one over the Asus nForce 4.
If your buying ATI, I can recommend the Asus P5W DH.

On the whole I'd say go with the P5W DH, but then again I would, wouldn't I .

Not anymore. My last 5 CPUs have been AMD, next one will be a C2D.

Go for the Asus P5N32-SLI or the EVGA.

Me = AMD lover

C2D owns, sorry lol. Hoping AMD will release something better than C2D but ATM there nothing matching them.

according to motherboards.org rankings, the mb you should get is the ASUS P5B Deluxe/WiFi-AP. about $210.00 USD.

they have good reviews, i'd go with what they say.
