    What Motherboard to buy?

    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:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145590

    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
    [i5 2500K, ASrock extreme3 gen3, Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB 1600MHz, Palit GTX570 Sonic Platinum, CM HAF932, Antec Truepower New 650w]

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