Hello there. I just finished building my first gaming rig last month but my motherboard decided to die on me and I had no warranty on it because it was a craigslist purchase.

My question for the forums is this:
What is the perfect motherboard for my Rig's specifications that are under $120?

Specs/parts of the PC:
CPU- i7 3770k chipset LGA1155
GPU- EVGA 770 2gig ACX cooling
RAM- 8 gigs total Patriot RAM (4x2)
MEMORY- 120gig SSD and 2TB HDD
PSU -Corsair AX1200i
COOLING- Corsair H80i Liquid Cooling and 9 fans in total. 4 Large which have controllers at the front including LED controlls.

I would like to eventually upgrade the RAM and possibly add another GPU in the near future since I plan to play on 3 monitors during the summer.

That's about it.
Any help would be fantastic. Thank you!

Thank you everyone for your help!
Right now I'm leaning towards the Asus mobo mostly off of reliability and the fair price though the others are great too.
Haven't had much luck with MSI so I tend to stay away from them nowadays.

If anyone else has a suggestion please feel free to add to this!

Quick add-on,
So the Asus mobo supports ddr3 ram. If the graphics card runs Gddr5 then is the board not compatible?

RAM memory and graphics card memory has no relation with each other and have different specifications. There is nothing like ddr5 ram as of now. While graphics card have gddr5 memory and utilizes the pciE slot. So you dont have to worry.
On a lighter note, it is a noob question and has no meaning :p
