look out for G31 mobos. they will set you back by 2.2k or so, depending on which you pick. can opt for P41 chipset based mobo. but will cost more. well stick to G3* series chipset mobo.

Gigabyte Intel G31 Chipsets would cost you around 2.3k and G41 Chipsets around 2.5k to 3k (In both the case price depends on the model you pick up)

You can go for ASUS P5KPL series boards starting from 2.2k

Gigabyte, ASUS etc of-crs better than Intel chipsets. Well at this budget I will suggest to go for ASUS P5KPL series boards. Pick up one that falls within your range.
