Normally theres a lot of options that go into choosing a motherboard, if for gaming do you want SLi or Crossfire support, if you want a good overclock, lots of bios options, a certain layout. Intel boards normally cost more then equivalent AMD boards, so for a good LGA 775 board it might run you between 130-150.
However, since you seem to be building on a budget, I'm going to go ahead and throw out the Evga nForce 650i Ultra, its an excellent board you can find for around $100, currently $99 on Newegg if you live in the states.
Newegg.com - EVGA 122-CK-NF66-T1 LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail

Here is an in-depth review of the board from Anandtech, always best to research an expensive piece of hardware throughly before buying to be sure it has what you're looking for.

you should always check out our Recommended Hardware Lists.... we currently have two sub-$100 boards on the list......

EVGA 122-CK-NF66-T1 NVIDIA nForce 650i Ultra Motherboard
ASRock ConRoeXFire-eSATA2 LGA 775 Intel 945P ATX Intel Motherboard


However, these Recommendation will probably be changing over the next couple weeks as the INTEL Series 3 boards start hitting the market. Also, we'll be posting our review of the eVGA 650i motherboard this coming week.

thats why there are are two there........

If you like INTEL chipsets more than NVIDIA chipsets, as I personally do, then you might wait a few weeks for the Series 3 boards to hit the market.

If you can get $30 more, get the Gigabyte 965P-DS3. Perfect for the E4300.

I got a deal on an XFX 650i Ultra board for $79.99 Canadian. I plan to add a fan to the northbridge heatsink and also install a heatsink/fan on the southbridge.
