im looking to upgrade to the below kit

AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ (Socket 939) - OEM
Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940)
PowerColor ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Hiper HPU-4K580-MK Type R 580W Modular ATX2.2 PSU
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2

However after reading the various boards here im unsure to which motherboard to buy. I dont see the point in buying into a Sli board as im buying a x1900xt and folks seem to have a lot of issues with crossfire boards at present? So id considered buying a basic nforce ultra board but which one?

any and all advice welcome.

If overclocking is your thing, then you can't go wrong with the DFI Ultra-D.
Otherwise, I'd look towards the Asus A8N series.

Abit KN8 Ultra nForce4 Ultra (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-087-AB) is a good choice.
