Any 975x or 965 chipset will be fine. What you need to decide is if you're going to overclock or not. With DDR2 800, I am guessing you might.

Look for a good 975x chipset based board, since those are said to be the better overclocker boards. The 965 boards are good, but don't OC as well, so I've heard.

Good luck, and that's a nice list of components, too.

Not sure about that, since I don't know the model number of your memory. But my P965 intel board said to use 1.8v memory, and I'm using 2.0v memory right now. I might get all kinds of memory issues, but I haven't yet. Not sure what might happen when the memory is undervolted. Maybe some memory problems, or something. Guess I will have to research that now. LOL

No $160 Mobo should have so many problems... If only Asus could feel a portion of my anger, they would quickly change their product support...

Yesterday my system shut down because I plugged in a USB device (Logitech Momo Steering wheel) and the system shut down... Crash, no error message, basic hardware level shutdown.

The Momo Steering Wheel is self powered through a supply of its own, so its cannot be any other issue rather then the BIOS... The drivers I am using, and the Momo Wheel has been used for months without a single failure... This is no doubt a Asus defect with USB support on P5B... I expect it to be fixed when Asus decides that if they screw people, that they will turn around and screw them... I am on a personal crusade to lower overall sales of ALL Asus products... and will continue this crusade until the DAY I die.

Why don't you RMA your motherboard? Seriously.

Asus has made some pretty bad motherboards.. the two worst boards they've ever made are the P4S8X and the A8R-MVP. I own both of them.. horrible boards.

What makes them horrible?

The P4S8X is horrible due to it's supposed support for AGP8X but it's lack of support for AGP8X. It won't run ANY cards at AGP8X, defaults to 4X. Some workarounds were implemented but once AGP8X was activated the system would shut down or freeze intermittently.

The A8R-MVP is horrible due to it's advertised and reviewed super overclocking ability, unfortunatly it's the poorest overclocker I've ever bought. Heck the VCore options are shameful.

Those are the two only Asus products I've never liked. As for other companies, well MSI almost burned down my house so let's just say they're on my blacklist. (MSI K8N Neo3 Platinum).

And don't get me started on Gigabyte's poor AMD boards or Elitegroup (ECS) and there K7S5A (vomits). Although I must admit.. I couldn't keep stock of the K7S5A as that board would fly off the shelves.. it's the best selling motherboard I've ever sold (back when I ran my own PC business).

ASUS recently came out with a new BIOS that is supposed to solve many of the problems in their early boards DDR2 boards. You might look and see if that will help.

. The 965 boards are good, but don't OC as well, so I've heard.

I have a ab9 pro (965) board and I have had no problems with over clocking. I got a E6600 up to 3.2 ghz (355 mhz fsb) without any glitches so far (knock on wood)
