e6600 build! need info w/c motherboard to buy

[dranom]

hi guys! im new here and i need your help in choosing a good overclocking motherboard. im a bit on a budget so i wont go for the striker or other very over priced motherboards out there. im probably getting a team xtreem pc28000 or a cellshock pc28000 and a 8800gts.
one more thing the proc im using is a e6600 proven to reach 3.7 w/ an evga 680i. Im just planning to just buy the 680i is it good? when does the new gigabyte coming out?

ASUS P5B deluxe, if if budget doesn't allow that, a giggabyte S3.

asus p5n-E nvidia 650i should do you well with that processor. 412fsb limit but you wouldnt need to go that high with the e6600. Or budget performance, go with biostar tforce 965 or gigabyte s3.or hold off till the new s3's and ds3's come out with all high quality caps for the same price. you got some kickass d9's memory in mind but you wouldnt be able to max it out with that processor. If i had to rebuild my system i'll get the asus, because its sli and has firewire.

Agreed on the P5N-E/650i. I have one on my bench now that will boot my 6300 at 500mhz FSB+, box stock, no mods. It's 1hr+ Orthos stable at 475mhz so far.
