This is my first time building a desktop, and I am wondering what would be the best choices for the motherboard for i5-2500K. My budget is around $100 to $130. I plan to overclock as much as possible (within a reasonable limit set by my budget for the cooler which could be this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
Note that I also plan to use this power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-139-049&Tpk=N82E16817139049
and I am re-using a video card from my old desktop: Raedon 6770 (1GB DDR5 PCI-e).
If anyone would suggest a few choices for the case (in particular if I need to be aware of something about the case), that would also be great.
And finally, is it bad to get a used motherboard from eBay?
