I wouldn't spend anywhere near $250 for an LGA 775 board and Nvidia GPU. The motherboard has very little to do with how fast a computer is. This is what I'd get:

GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3R LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $119.99 - $15 MIR

thank you for you input.
any others?

trying to get more answers will give me a better outcome

I don't see anyone else chiming in yet, so I'll give another suggestion.

ASUS P5Q Turbo LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $124.99 - $15 MIR

Gigabyte and Asus have the best reputation as making the highest quality motherboards. You can't go wrong with either manufacturer.

I'm with shortstuff here. I have had a multilple gigabyte boards and loved everyone of them. I have the EP45-UD3R at work and love it. I think we paid $129 at a local shop for it. I'm running a E7400 @ 3.8ghz stable and its quick! has tons of connections and the raid is pretty user friendly. Much better than the intel boards imo. I've tried a lot of brands and I like ASUS, GIGABYTE, and MSI, I've had bad experiences with EVGA, FOXCONN (expected), BIOSTAR. Also I'd really suggest not getting a nvidia chipset. stick with intel.
