775 isn't the best option for gaming and you should fill out the form in my signature, but here's a nice board

GIGABYTE GA-EP45T-UD3LR LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel

or a crossfire/DDR2 board
GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel

Do you already have the CPU? LGA 775 is like a step back in time. Technology has moved on. You should not build a new system around already outdated technology unless absolutely necessary.

The two boards suggested are both good options. No need to waste money on a more expensive motherboard when you could use it for more important components like the GPU or PSU.

I haven't recommended it for quite some time, but the GA-EP45-UD3P is about as good as it gets for affordable high-quality LGA 775 motherboards.
