Graphics card is an important consideration. I would also look for a board that is able to do better than 1333 FSB. Almost any E8400 is capbable of good overclocking and you want to give yourself some overhead. A lot of boards are warratied up to 1600 fsb. I have a gigabyte x38 board and have been pretty happy. Ulitimately I decided based on crossfire and 2 x16 pci-e channels.

------------------------------ GA-EX38-DS4 | E8400 @ 3.6 ghz - Hyper TX2 | 2x2G Patriot Extreme DDR2800 | GeCube HD3870 OC Ed. CF w/Sapphire HD3870 | Vista Home Premium 32 | Antec SLK-3800B Case | Corsair 650TX PSU

I also like the Gigabyte motherboards. If you do not need Crossfire and more than 6 SATA ports, the GA-EP45-UD3L is about $100 at newegg. The UD3's are all great overclockers.
