Im going to be upgrading fairly soon, im thinking of going for a C2D E6600, im stuck on which motherboard to get maybe one of these.

Asus P5W DH Deluxe WiFi

Asus P5N32-E PLUS SLi nForce
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-222-AS

Asus Commando Intel 965

Are there any problems with these and are there any others i should be thinking of.

Memory wise,

Team Xtreem 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PC2-6400C4
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-000-TG&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=813
(its got nice timings for the price)

Everything else i already have, ATI X1900XTX, 2X 250GB RAID 0, 480W PSU.
I plan on changing to Raptors at a later date and get the next gen GFX cards.

Any thoughts?

I would prefer to avoid DFI the last two boards i had from them were faulty. Never had a problem with Asus or MSI so i stick with them.
 
All three are good, although if you don't want sli graphics there really is no point getting the P5N32-E.

How much do you want to spend and are you going to overclock?

P5B Vista Premium is also good in the same price range. This and the P5W DH & Commando all support crossfire should you be interested in the future.

Or for cheaper alternatives P5B-E plus or the DS3P are also excellent.
 
Not really got a budget just dont want to go stupid. Im not interested in SLI, i want a motherboard that is very stable no bugs and allows me to get a reasonable overclock.
 
This is what i think i will go with.
