hi, all
this is my first time building a computer, it's gonna for gaming mainly, and some everyday uses. i've set my CPU to be C2D E6600, but i'm having a hard time picking a mobo to go with it.
i've read many forum and find those 3 are not bad--ASUS P5B-E(or deluxe), ABIT AB9 Pro, and MSI 975X Platinum. i don't plan on OCing just yet, but might do a little later on. so which one is my best choice? or are there some better ones?
again i appreciate all your help!!

hi,
i run the 6600 with the gigabyte dq6, and ive read the msi platunim is very good too, but if you can hold off maybe you could wait for the new asus sli590 board.....when...??? dont know but it will be very good, i couldnt wait so i went with a gigabyte and iam mainly happy, just a few frogs to clear and it should be good. good luck.
