i have been looking around and like the look of this ABIT Fatal1ty AN8 SLi

I've got one which I'm RMA ing at the minute. Overall a fairly easy board/bios to use especially for a first time overclocker . Mine has problems with overvolting (sticking 2.85v through the RAM by default!!!) hence the rma.
I think that most people would steer you in the direction of the DFI lanparty boards but I havent had any experience with them myself yet.
