im looking at getting the biostar tpower I45 LGA775 intel p45 atx motherboard. i already have an 8800gts and 8 gigs of corsair dominator ram and a 600w thermaltake purepower 600ap PSU ill be using. i was looking at the q6600 or q8300 for a processor and wanted to get peoples advice on these items ive chosen or if there is a better mobo option for those processors. I may do some slight OC'ing as well. I know the new I7 stuff is the some of the best out right now but isnt exactly cost effective for me at the moment. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Q8300 + Gigabyte EP45-DS3 might be worth a look. Same NB & SB chips, but a few quid cheaper. Never had a problem with Gigabyte boards myself, which is more than I can say for Biostar!
