i've read that the chipset of choice is either the 650i and the p965, these have great ocing features. i found the best warranty to be from evga, they offer cross shipping for a small fee when you register your product. you can find the 650i mb for about $100 US. if you want to do sli you can go with a 680i sli, i use this chipset and am very happy with it. evga has about 5 different levels of the 680i ranging from $150 to about $250 US.

You should put it off for up to 2 months if possible when the new AMD's come out. (current boards will also drop in price drastically this summer)
this is a very bad time to invest any money in a pc

Thanks so much for your suggestion. I went with Asus P5 N32-e SLIU Plus for now.
