Well, this board has one of the best options for de chipset but not the best in the powe phases for a Quad Core processor.
I would go P35 DS4 or higher or ASUS P5Q Deluxe or Premium.

The mobo you just listed is a good mobo for overclocking and should be fine.

If you don't want to overclock much beyond an FSB of 400MHz, the EP35-DS3R is good. I have it stable at 400MHz with my Q9450. I can't really get it stable much beyond.
