either a x38 or P35, but i'm new to intel chipsets and i just got a x38, but haven't used it yet.

You could go for either the Asus Maximus Formula Intel X38 or the Abit IP35 Pro which both seem great mobo's.

P35 board if you are not bothered about having a crossfire setup with 2 x16 PCI-E lanes

Gigabyte P35 DS4 is supreb overclocker and a stable board! Never had a problem with it overclocks a Q6600 with ease (3GHz at stock Volts) great for RAM too, running PC8000 OCZ at 5-5-4-15 at 2.1V, never restarted or BSOD.

Gigabyte X38 DQ6 would be my choice for an intel based mobo. Not daftly expensive but really a solid part.
