OC Q6600 Which chipset / board?

[SoelAngelus]

Hi, can someone tell me which mainboards would be good for overclocing a q6600?

I was lokin at these two :

But i have been told that the P5W DH board (first link) isnt very good for overclocking as it uses the 975X chipset where as the latter link uses the P35 chipset, is that right?

What would you people in the know suggest i buy?

Appreciate the help,

And Antec PSU also...

@SoelAngelusThe wattage is meaningful. Mount your setup. If you have a bad PSU, you'll expierience bad surprises, hang ups, voltage rails instability... so you know you have to change it. Also, like itotallybelieveyou told you, if it is cheap PSU, chances are it won't last nor it will handle the loading on high temperatures
