Ok So its Upgrade time ...and there are 2 many choices , want your Help

Please help me choose between the following Mobos my Budget for Mobo is 5-6 K (In Max Cases 8 K but then will have to Ditch the Ram :S )

First My Current Configuration

C2D E4500 @ 2.2 Ghz
Intel D945 Mobo:ashamed: -> Upgrade
Dynet Value Ram 2*1 GB @ 533 Mhz :ashamed: -> Upgrade
Palit 9600 GSO:clap:

So the Nominees are :bleh:

The Legendary Abit IP35-E (Intel P35)
MSI P35 Neo Combo-F (Intel P35)
XFX MB-N650-IUL9 (NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra)
Asus P5K-VM (Intel G33)
EVGA 112-CK-NF77-A1 (NVIDIA nForce e-7150/630i)
Asus P5N-SLI (NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI Intel Edition)
and if I stretch my budget a bit then..

Abit Fatal1ty F-I90HD (ATI Radeon Xpress 1250)
MSI P45 Neo-F (Intel P45)
Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G (Intel P35)
ASUS P5B (Intel P965 Express)

and if am really lucky these will be surely on my wish list but then i will have to Ditch the RAM for time being:@
Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI (NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI)
Asus P5N-E SLI (NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI)
Abit IP35 Pro (Intel P35)

Soooooo may choices:hap2: only 1 to decide :ashamed:
Now The Choices for 800 Mhz RAM are

Corsair XMS2 2GB DDR2 800MHz TWIN2X2048-6400

OCZ Platinum Revision 2GB DDR2 800MHz OCZ2P800R22GK

OCZ SLI-Ready 2GB DDR2 800MHz OCZ2N800SR2GK
And if my new Mobo Supports 1066 Mhz then(Again i can get a Abit Ip35E for this Price:@ )

OCZ SLI-Ready 2GB DDR2 1066MHz OCZ2N1066SR2GK
Corsair Dominator 2GB DDR2 1066Mhz TWIN2X2048-8500C5D
I am looking for a Furture Proof Solution (By that i mean least 1+ yr , not much intrested in Nehalem for now)

I want to OC the Proccy & Ram to moderate extent , Primarily using it for Gaming / Video Encoding ..Please help me in decision...:tongue:
 
Abit IP35-E 5.3k /Biostar TP35D2-A7 4.5k /Asus P5Q 7k

+

Transcend 2x1GB DDR2 800MHz Powerchips Brainpower PCB, will OC to 1GHz.

7050 chipset doesnt support dual channel RAM

570, 650i r buggy

G33 runs hot

P965 also too old, no native Penryn support

Only budget P35 r worthy now, high end r obsolete

Why U need OCZ, Corsair RAM ?? Just bragging rights, Transcend will OC to 1GHz.
 
If u really wanna be "future proof" (which is almost non existent in PC industry) go for a P45 mobo like Asus P5Q series and as sidhu said get the Transcend RAM which i have and it runs at 1000MHZ 5-5-4-13.

This would be really nice config, but do get a cooler like Sunbean Contact cooler and u can OC to ur hearts content.
 
Ouch :huh:

after sidhu's comments guess all the high end mobos r out

Abit is no doubt the best choice , but as i heard abit is planning to quit the market so i am consern about the support , also how about the Double Boot problem this mobo has.

how about MSI P35 Neo Combo-F OR Gigabyte GA-P35-S3G they again are P35 based mobos..
 
I am not able to find any option to edit my previous post ...so adding ...

Biostar TP35D2-A7 any idea where i can get this in Pune

also the Asus P5Q series starts with 8.5 K @ Techshop.in any idea where i will get this @ 7 K ???
