Motherboard recommendation for Core2Quad?

[masterk]

Hi guys, im looking at putting a system together with an Antec P182, a Q6600 and a 8800GTS.

I was looking at the Asus P5K Wifi Deluxe, but at £146 it seems a bit steep.

Does anyone have any recommendations of a perhaps cheaper board? Im not too bothered about overclocking, just want something moderately future proof (DDR3 support worth having?) and most importantly good at stock speeds and stable!

Any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.

The Asus P5KC is under £100 and supports DDR2/DDR3 looking into getting it myself but want to know if anyone has had any experiences with it...

You could also consider the Gigabyte GA P35 DS3P - see review Here for review, can be had for around £86.

Thanks guys, that Gigabyte looks awesome!

Do you reckon it will take a Thermalright Ultra 120?

Cheers!

It is compatable with the Ultra Extreme, so I would think it will fit the Ultra, see Here
