I'm building a new computer with a Conroe E6600 cpu and I need some help on choosing a motherboard. I plan on over clocking it to 3.2 Ghz, so I need a mobo that has fairly good bios for Ocing and is also stable. I'm hoping for a mother board that is under $200.

CPU:

Ram:

If anyone has any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

plan on over clocking it to 3.2 so FSB will be ~360MHz. Many mobos can do that. I personally recommend ASUS P5B or ASUS P5B Deluxe...

Asus P5B/dlx, Gigabyte DS4 or DS4. Those are pretty good choices for under 200$ budget :)

Is the Gigabyte DS4 out yet? I can't seem to find it on newegg or other popular sites.
