If you are going with a dual core, E6750.

If you are going with a quad core, Q6600.

The ASUS P5K would be a nice choice as would a Gigabyte P35 board.

We generally consider Asus to be the top quality manufacturer. I'd use them over Gigabyte. But Gigabyte boards are still ok if that board is a better value in terms of features/dollar for you then a P5K.

You could get the Asus P5K which supports processors with 1333MHz FSB. (e.g. The E6750)

Also most motherboards come with onboard sound, and if I were you I would try the board using the onboard sound first to see how you like it, and if it really isn't good enough then you can buy a separate sound card for your machine.
