Of all the nForce2 boards I see recommended in these forums, the Gigabyte is not one of them. Here are a few you may wanna consider instead...
Abit NF7-S2 Albatron KX18D Pro Asus A7N8X-? (several variations) Shuttle AN35N-Ultra

Add to that the DFI LANParty series, and the Soltek FRN2 series.

No good! 300 watts isn't enough these days & that unit has too little amperage on the +12v rail

Don't know why you want to replace your board just because you need to run your 2500+ @ a 3200+ clock. What makes you think whatever you couldn't do before, will be possible after overclocking.
You realise you will need to upgrade your PC2700 RAM too, but I can not tell you how to best spend your money.
