CPU/Mobo Motherboard for Q9550

[pa1pa1]

Hi,
Which motherboard should i get for intel Q9550 ? Since i will be using 8800GT for gfx, i do not need onboard Gfx, i would like if it has audio hardware.There are tonnes of motherboards to choose from(just frm the gigabyte stabe itself) so m totally confused. Budget around 6-7K.

Oh and, should i wait even longer for Q9550 prices to drop ?

help! ! ! ! !

^^+1 for GA EP45 UD3P. For a gud proccy like Q9550 use a stable gud mobo like UD3P than buying the MSI Neo-F
