Well, I don't know what budget you've got, but I'd recommend getting either a 955x or 975x chipset board. I'm actually looking at getting a new
mobo myself (have a #930 at the moment)
I'm personally looking at the intel 975X chipset boards (they support DDR2-800
RAM better), although I have a 955X one at the moment - they are cheaper and still perform well.
I'm thinking either the Asus P5WD2-E:

Or the Gigabyte
GA-G1975X

Both have 2x PCI-E x16 slots and support crossfire (but not SLI - Nvidia don't have drivers for non Nvidia chipset
mobo's) They are also good overclockers (really good!)
If you're after something that
can do SLI in the future, maybe the
GA-8N-SLI:

or the Asus P5N32-SLI board:

Oh yeah...
