Trying to pick a good Overclocking MoBo

[Scrutin8r]

Hello,

I have been having a very tough time picking out a motherboard. I was thinking about this one:
MoBo Option 1: DFI LANPARTY DK P35-T2RS LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
MoBo Option 2: DFI LANPARTY DK X48-T2RS LGA 775 Intel X48 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
MoBo Option 3: ASUS RAMPAGE FORMULA LGA 775 Intel X48
But not sure if the RAMPAGE is worth the extra cost.... Perhaps there is a better option out there for me?

I want to overclock over 4.2 GHZ with the the following setup and need an accommodating MoBo (and cooling solution). I am not trying to future proof 4 years here (Look at those Dual Cores ), and I doubt I will XFire on this setup (maybe in the next PC I Build I will get a second 4870x2, I don't know).

My specs are as follows:
CASE: Thermaltake Armor Series VA8003BWS w/ 25CM Fan
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 Wolfdale 3.33GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core
RAM: OCZ Reaper HPC 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certifiedl
GPU: ATI 4870x2

Hello and welcome to the forums mate

go for ASUS MAXIMUS FORMULA X38 because the difference between X38 and X48 isnt much and MAXIMUS FORMULA is cheaper.
