Hey guys,

Right now, I'm thinking of buying a new PC, I've got all the other parts set out and now I'm stuck on the motherboard. (the monitor and other parts have all been decided)

Here are the specs so far and what I'd like it to turn out:
CPU: Intel Q9450 (Preferably overclocked as high as it will go on air)
GPU: One Nvidia GFX Card (Never going to go SLI)
RAM: Corsair 4GB Twin XMS2 Dominator modules DDR2 (Unless someone can prove to me that the gains of getting DDR3)
Motherboard: HELP???

Can anyone recommend me a good motherboard for this spec?

Mobo Req:
DD2 or DDR3 if its worth the extra cost.
Intel Chipset
Support PCI-E 2.0
Budget £200.

many thanks

EDIT:
What i have currently:
Monitor: Acer 24"
HD: Seagate Barracua 320gb
DVD: Samsung SH-S203 Sata drive
PSU: Corsair 620 HX
Cae: Nzxt Lexa

Parts im going to Get:

Well i havent got the cooler yet for the cpu, was gonna see how the one is in the box. probably only going to OC to around 3.2ghz.

i was looking at the maximus formula, but fwe reviews saying they had problems with it and kept crashing.

atm im still undecided, was looking into the Asus rampage formula. but still got now idea what board to get.
