Im looking for a good motherboard with usb 3.0, sata 6gbps and good support for overclocking and graphics cards. I prefer gigabyte, but i basically want to know which is the best for my price range.
Heres an example list.

My price range is built around the gigabyte z97x gaming 5 mobo (thats my choice right now, but i want to know if theres better within a 10 dollar price difference)

Also, Im Canadian, so quotes are in CAD

Thanks for the help!

Just by curiosity, does this website sends it all FROM Canada? I'm moving up to Toronto for college in a month and I was looking into canadacomputers.com to get myself some components, but they are a bit pricey here and there.

Regarding to your question, I heard some z97 asus mobos are having firmware issues.
 
my personal choice would be the asus z97-a

i've had good luck with asus so far, i like their bios better than some other brands and its not bad specs for the cost.

however, that is just my opinion on what i would personally buy for myself for $150.
