Intel or Nvidia???

[Notorious Lee]

I am building a PC around an Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700 CPU & am currently trying to decide on whether to buy a Motherboard with an Intel or Nvidia chipset.

Will I gain any performance advantages if I stick to an Intel chipset or is it irrelevant?

Which Intel & Nvidia board do you recommend for gaming?

Well I am basing it around a Quad processor & a GTX8800 graphics card.
