Look Out! Intel officially released the new Core i5 processors in back in September so you will see retailers offering a raft of Socket LGA 1156 motherboards to fit this new part.Extreme - Asus P6T Deluxe/OC Palm The Asus P6T Deluxe is, without a doubt, the best motherboard to match up with the Core i7. There are cheaper boards, and there are now boards that cost more, but the P6T Deluxe/OC Palm is the best. It's a fast, stable board that's packed with features and settings for the enthusiast and overclocker. Excellent board! Price: $290 Mid-range - BioStar TPower I45 The BioStar TPower I45 is a great mid-range board because it combines rock-solid features with the ability to handle overclocking so you can unleash the hidden potential of your other hardware. I'm now amazed how many lower-speced boards offer very sophisticated overclocking features. Another well laid out, fully-featured board from BioStar. Keep an eye on this company over the coming year, I expect to see more good things from it! Price: $160 Budget - BioStar TP45HP
The TP45HP a good all-round board that offers plenty of options in the way of USB, SATA, Ethernet and so on. It's also another example of a rock-solid board that shouldn't give you any problems in day to day usage.
But the main reason I've picked this particular board for this package is that it's a great board for overclocking. In fact, I'd go as far as to call it an overclocker's dream board.
Price: $90
