Hi, i'm having problems choosing a motherboard for my first build (I'm probably going about this backwards by choosing mobo last but oh well).
Current component selection:
 
CPU: E8400 Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz
GPU: XFX 8800GTX XXX
PSU: Coolermaster M700
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 500GB, 7200rpm, 32MB Cache
Disk Drive: Sony DRU-190S (black)
Memory: Not chosen depends on motherboard (ddr2 or ddr3?)
Case Fan: 1xSilverstone Suscool81 Ultra Quiet 80mm
Case: EZ Cool Alpine 7103 (black)
 
So yea comments on components chosen and advice on motherboard to choose greatly appreciated!

Budget: Components chosen so far is about £650 so i'm guessing reasonable mobo will be about £80 maybe? so around £730
 
Firewire: Not a major factor, would be preferable i guess but won't be too dissapointed if not included.
 
Something i forgot to mention, i want the motherboard to be SLI capable so i can upgrade performance later cheaply
