As I said, I need a new motherboard. I'm about to get a new gtx 780 and my old one doesn't support PCI Express 3.0. So I need one with 3.0 and not too hight price.
The important thing is that it must have the same inputs as Gigabyte GA-P67A-D3-B3, like SATA 6Gb and Socket 1155 etc.
Or maybe you have some other solutions?

Since you want a socket lga 1155 board then you can choose between these boards
asus p8 z77-v
asrock z77 extreme4
gigabyte z77 ud3h
All of these boards support sli and have pcie 3.0x16 also the asus board has wi-fi.
Also on a different note pcie 3.0 is yet to be utilized and won't make much difference.

Gigabyte or asrock? For gaming mostly. They both look awesome and i can't decide.
I also found ASUS Z87-A. What do you think?

You can go for either of them .The asrock board has got a better audio chip than the gigabyte one and is also cheaper than it.

You can compare the benchmarks of both these boards here.You can also consider gigabyte's z77-xd3h which is cheaper and got tom's h/w approved award.Looking at it from the gaming point of view ,they are both the same with only minor differences between the frame rates as is the cases with motherboards.Motherboards don't really affect gaming performance.
