I saw that price the other day and almsot pulled the trigger, but my Q6600 works great for me for now.
As for mobo suggerstion, any P35chipset will run it wonderful. If you want to get crazy and have the money, you can jump up to a X38/48 chipset, although they are still fairly new.

I have used Gigabyte and Abit boards before with not one issue. They have great bios settings for tweaking and overclocking if you wish to do so. Asus make great boards also but are a bit pricier. eVGAs are great but if you aren't gaming, not worth it.

I would recommend a Gigabyte P35 board. You can get them for less than $100
