Get a P45. Don't get an nvidia board. They aren't bad, but why settle for good when you can get great? Especially when great is a lot cheaper.
Get either a Biostar I45, or an Asus P5Q.
And as for the Sunbeam, it is awesome! I'm running 4ghz with an e7200 and my idle temps are 38c. My cpu is cooler at 4ghz with this cooler than it was at 3ghz with the stock cooler.
And just because your mobo supports DR3, doesn't mean you should get it. The stuff is expensive and right now there isn't a big performance bump. Your better getting DDR2. Especially when you can afford 2 gigs of quality memory with Micron D-9s for under $50.
