Go for 965 based motherboards.

Since the Motherboard is one of the critical components of a PC,its selection is important as Processor and RAM

I personally prefer ASUS,MSI or GIGABYTE:)
Even though they cost a little bit more than their traditional counterparts
the INTELS,
its worth a penny as they are enriched with extra features and slots.

Now can u get an idea ?
