I'm getting an i5 3570k, and I want to overclock. Anywhere inbetween 4.2 & 4.6 Ghz would be brilliant. I'm also getting a Corsair H80i and my max price is £120.

Which motherboard is the best for overclocking within that price range? Is the MSI Z77A-GD65 any good?

Any Z77 based motherboard will meet your objective. They are all good. Nothing wrong with MSI. ASUS,ASROCK, Gigabyte, ECS are others I have used successfully.
The very high priced enthusiast motherboards are directed towards record seeking overclockers.
Look a the M-ATX format motherboards, they are usually a bit cheaper.


And... a simple air cooler like the cm hyper212 will do the job. It will be cheaper, quieter and more reliable.
