Chipping the Chipsets

[spyingshadow]

Hey! I hv done a lot of scouting myself but thought taking a little bit more help would do no harm. I plan to upgrade after the nov issue of digit n I already hv decided upon e6300 n say i hv bought it. But, the only hckle i face is MOBO. Just getting confused every time. Tell me which is the best chipset, P965, G965, nforce 590, Sis 661fx/964 or any other?(except 975X as i think it will overshoot my budget) I hv a budget of about 7-10.5k. Plz Tell me 1 mobo each from gigabyte, ASUS, Intel n MSI. I like the gigabyte ga 965p dq6. I hv read reviews from reputed test centres n they say it is an overclocker's delight with a built in heat sink n no stability issues. I hv seen u all like ASUS. after all, both r taiwanese companies so duno which is better. i hv cheked their websites. (U might know coz i hv posted a lot of replies). I need support at least for overclocking, 2 front panel firewire, four front panel usb2.0 et al.
thnx in advance

Best chipset for C2D (not counting 975) is 965.
If you want to use SLI your only choice is a nForce chipset otherwise a 965 is the best.
