Can anyone recommend a mobo?

[Turtles]

Hey,

I need a mobo for my new gaming rig. I was thinking about the Asus P5K Intel P35 but I heard the onboard sound was rubbish. The motherboard is to be used in this rig:

BFG GeForce 8800 GTS
Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600 "Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition" 2.40GHz
Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

Price-wise it needs to be around £70

PSU and extra cooling is still to be decided...

Any help is much appreciated

Gigabyte GA P35 DS3

Onboard sound on any motherboard is not going to be great...

Gigabyte GA P35 DS3L and then use the digital out and connect it to an external DAC which will give you decent sound.
