Gigabyte all the way. I'm a non gamer, and would buy one just for the dual bios feature on some of it's boards. One bad flash will make you a convert.

Intel motherboard tend to known for "no frills" stability. Many have limited overclocking capabilities.

Asus boards seem to be more popular than Gigabyte, but like o1die, I prefer Gigabyte.

So from a gaming point of view - either Asus or Gigabyte. Non-gaming? Any of them.

I used an i3 530 for awhile; more than adequate for a non gamer. Look for one used for under $100, or the 6950 (no hyperthreading) for $50. Or the i5 750 used for around $150. I mention these as Sandy Bridge is so new and the prices are higher. I'm only guessing as you didn't mention a budget. If you are serious, please include it.
