hey,
im contemplating an i5 750 build and im after some advice on which motherboard to grab.
im after a fast computer for music production.
i dont need SLI.
i would like to spend under $200 for the board.

here are some options:
GB P55-UD3
GB P55-UD3/P55A-UD3/UD3R/UD3P $128/$153/$177/$191
Asus P7P55-LX/P7P55D-LE $139/$149
Asus P7H55-M-Pro $138
GB H55M S2H/UD2H $110/$128

are there any boards in the list above you could recommand for the i5 750?
are there any i can rule out? im guessing the H55 boards?
are there any boards with integrated graphics for the i5 750?

any help greatly appreciated.
thanks.

How many expansion slots do you need? Since you don't need SLI/CF, you may want to check out Gigabyte's GA-P55M-UD2: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=3287

It's currently $105 shipped from NewEgg, leaving you ~$100 in your budget for other stuff: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128405&Tpk=GA-P55M-UD2

EDIT: Here's a review of the GA-P55M-UD2 and an ASRock board from shortly after the Lynnfield launch: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3652
