Best performing and cost effective MOBO for c2d

[krinish]

Hi there,
My purchase is just a few hours away. I had started a thread couple of weeks ago for a budget of 15,000 for a desktop, without the Monitor.

I have zeroed in on AMD and Intel, wth various inputs and similar threads for budget system from all the members here.

Now can any one please suggest or recommend a consistennt performing motherbord which is cost effective and can be good for couple of years. it should have Onboard graphics for VGA.

INTEL - c2d E7200

Which one?
XFX 630i - price
Gigabyte GA-EG31MF-S2 -price
Gigabyte GA-G33M-S2L - price
Palit N73PV - price
ASUS - P5KPL-CM---- price

Thank you

XFX 630i -> 3.5k
ASUS P5KPL-CM --> 2.7k

I suggest you go with the first one as its more feature rich and has a better IGP.
