Which Motherboard: Abit AB9 QuadGT or Asus P5N32-E SLI

[Author_25]

I am planning on building a new system by the end of May. The Parts I have chosen are;

Intel C2D E6600, 2Gb OCZ DDR2 PC2-8000 Titanium Alpha VX2, 2x 320GB Seagate 7200.10 HDDs, Gainward 8800GTX, Creative X-Fi Music sound card and an Enermax Infinity 720w PSU. I will be using the Silverstone TJ09 case and I am planning on watercooling.

What I need help with is choosing a motherboard. I am looking at the Abit AB9 QuadGT or the Asus P5N32-E. I have been reading the forums and I have noticed that people recommend using a 975x or 680i chipset with E6600 CPUs while others seem to think the P965 chipset is fine.

I would be grateful for your help.
