I am looking for a gaming motherboard. I am looking at a ASUS P5Q Deluxe... any advice? Also looking at an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 Bx Processor.

thats a god board. Another board in your price range is the Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P, or the cheaper EP45-DS3 board, all are pretty good.

However, the question is...you want this board for gaming so is there a chance you will be going XFire with it? If so, neither of the boards I have suggested or the one you are looking at will work. You need to get a board with an X48 chipset with 2 PCIe x16 lanes.
