What is your recommendation as far as the best mother board for reasonable price(>200) that will over clock well, has plenty of features such as esata and performs well? I am putting a 8800 gt on it and also 4 gb ddr2 ram 800

I have an MSI P35 Neo2-FR, Has had good reviews,

Has 2 E-Sata ports, IH9R Heatpipe chipset cooler, I have my q6600 G0 @ 3Ghz (333x9) at stock voltage.

In testing it will do 3.2Ghz (8x400) after a small voltage increase.

Will do 3.6Ghz (9x400) but requires 1.45V

I paid £56+tax here in the uk (about $115)

Also, you'll want to buy a G0 stepping Q6600 and an aftermarket cooler for overclocking:
