Pick one with 780G or 790GX chipset, they should be cheaper. You may even go for a Micro-ATX board since you don't need SLI/Crossfire.

790X (The first GA board) is a good choice if you don't want an onboard graphic card, and I think it's a bit cheaper than the 790GX which has onboard graphic (the ASUS board). Both 790X and 790GX has two PCI-E X16 slot that would support 8x8 crossfire while 790FX (the second GA board) support 16x16 crossfire which is a bit faster.

Considering that you're not going to be doing crossfire, you can choose between boards with 770 chipset or 780G chipset, depending on your preference, and of a brand that you trust (we all have our preference.)

I've had this Biostar board for about a month now & it's performed very well.

Enabling the ACC unlocked my 4th core (1 of the lucky ones I guess) and I have mine stable with all 4 cores at 3.4GHZ ... never blue screened. The onboard graphics perfrom pretty well in Windows 7 64-bit too.

This is the first Biostar board I've used, but I'm thoroughly impressed.
