Need some help shopping for a mobo

The motherboard I did have picked out has been 'deactivated' according to Newegg so I need a little help finding a new one. I found this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131284 , but it's more of an overclocker's motherboard.

The rest of the parts I'm using are:
Video Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130403
Power Supply: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817371011
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811133132
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115037
HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148316
CD/DVD Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106072
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146118
OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116056

Any help is very much appreciated!

A P5Q PRO does the exact same thing.
E8400 is a steal right now.
This would be a better choice for a power supply:
PC POWER & COOLING
A high amp single rail is much more stable and reliable.
Here's a good video card for a great price:
SAPPHIRE HD3870
I've used 7 to date. Excellent performers and a deal for that price.
LITE ON is good.
SEAGATE is good.
I'd go with GeIL or G.SKILL memory-wise. With XP Home Edition, you only need a 2x1gb kit.
These are fantastic:
GEIL EVO ONE
My 2 cents there.
