best gaming motherboard for these specs?

Hi, i'm looking for the best gaming motherboard, but so i can support these specs with the best effiency:

Intel 2 Quad core Q6600 (So i can overclock)
Nvidia 8800 GTX DDR3 768
3GB RAM
Windows vista home premium
A fairly good sound quality thing
730W power (I know an 8800GTX says it needs more, but it works with 525W)

Re: best gaming motherboard for these specs?

Do you already have those components? There are better cards than the 8800GTX around now.

Do you want a motherboard that support SLI or would you be fine using one without it?

Re: best gaming motherboard for these specs?

Those are my current specs, but while i'm at it, i have my old Graphics Card (8500GT) So is it possible and a good idea to run SLi with the 8800GTX and 8500GT? If not, no, i'm not gunna use sli.

Re: best gaming motherboard for these specs?

And 2x 8500's wouldn't even match the single 8800GTX.

Gigabyte P35 DS3R would do fine but others are available that have newer chipsets.
