Don't get an nforce motherboard, you'll regret it.
Get this board:

Data corruption, instability, poor life expectancy, they're just generally not nice chipsets and haven't been since the nforce 6.

You don't need an nforce board to run a geforce graphics card, you only need an nforce to run SLI.

Out of curiosity, what don't you like about your gigabyte board?

Alternate intel chipset board:

Gigabyte is my preferred brand. They're reliable, well priced, and stable.

I agree with sammorris. Don't use an nVidia chipset. They have a very high failure rate. Intel is the best there is by far. Also, the HD4850 is your best deal.

If you don't want Gigabyte, this is a good ASUS board.

It's a P35 vs the P45 sam showed. But they're nearly the same thing. It's a bit cheaper too.
