Default Motherboard for 3570k
Hey guys, I am building a new system and am planning on using the i5 3570k. Just wondering what you guys would suggest for a motherboard for it. I am looking for something no more than $200. PC will just be for gaming only and I will be doing some slight overclocking. This is what I have bought so far:

i5 3570k
Corsair Special Edition White Graphite Series 600T
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB
EVGA GTX 670 SuperClocked
CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
OCZ Vertex 4 128GB
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo

Sabertooth is a sweet board, but honestly if he's only slightly overclocking, he could get a comparable board and put the rest of the savings in his pocket. Between his budget is $200, and sabertooth runs more than $200...

Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H
ASUS P8Z77-V Pro
MSI Z77A-GD65

Good boards, I personally vouch for Asus just like the others did, awesome support and great boards
I've been hearing MSI's support in Canada is excellent too, and I'm thinking of going for the GD65 myself

I think you'll be happy. I love mine. The bios is sweet. And I'm a noob so i love the 1 touch overclock.
