Hey everyone, new to tom's hardware here. I was hoping to get some answers as to what might be the best mobo for the Intel i7-3770K processor. with a stock clock speed of 3.5GHz, i have already overclocked it to 4.3GHz with the cpu in a gigabyte Z77 DE3H motherboard. Would the motherboard that i have currently already be good enough for its price range (about $92 on amazon i think)? Im really reluctant on spending anything near $150 for an upgrade, but i guess $150 is the highest ill go. So is there anything worth upgrading to within that price range? In addition to overclocking, i also have 4 x 4GB of ram. pci express x1 audio card, a GTX 660ti graphics card (also overclocked), 700W PSU, and im also looking to have this motherboard have sli capability, not really a problem in this price range though i guess. is also have a raidmax super viper gaming case, so its gotta fit into that. oh, and two pci e x1 slots as well would be a nice touch, but its of the least importance. im also a gamer, so higher fps providing mobos would be nice. and the more usb ports, the better 
so basically, is it worth upgrading to a new mobo for something under 150, and if so, what motherboard would be the best option? thanks in advance everyone
