I'm getting ready to buy parts to build my first PC and what a chore it has been trying to decide what to buy. I've picked out my case and CPU, so now I'm trying to find a motherboard. I'm wanting to build a pretty beefy system. The CPU I've picked is the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor. I know what type of board I need for this processor, but I don't know enough about the manufacturers. What motherboard would you guys suggest for the processor?

The case I've picked out is the Antec Performance One P180B. Any suggestions here would be appreciated as well.
