Think you are better off with a P35 chipset, nice and stable, especially for overclocking, Asus and Gigabyte have some very nice ones, heres an example:

You may also want to change the Q6600 for the E6850 if you are mainly concerned about games now.

I have the E6600, the GA-965P-DS3 (http://www.morecomputers.co.uk/extra.asp?pn=GA-965P-DS3), an 8800GTS 320MB, 2GB Corsair 6400 ram, and a 500W PSU. I play BF2 on max settings.  My mobo is supposed to be good for overclocking but I have no reason to overclock for BF2 since my settings are already at the max.  I can't say how future-proof this system is, but I couldn't ask for more when I play BF2.
