You also get a free 60GB OCZ ssd.

The list of motherboards that you have range in price from $135 up to $240 and with a spread like that it's hard to nail down your budget unless you don't have one and your just picking boards at random.
The Asus Sabertooth is too giiky with all that shielding that maybe does something or doesn't and so you would be paying for some extra coverings on the board that may actually get in the way.
The Asrock Extreme 4 is cheap enough and does have some good features as does the Gigabyte board.
The board that looks the best of those is the Asus P877 V Pro and the price is a bit high but it does come with 8gb of G.Skill Aries ram Which has a value of $40 so that would bring the overall price / performance down to the less expensive boards and make this board a good buy.

thx for the info.
how about the asrock extreme 6? is it better than extreme 4?
and whats the difference between them?

For starters $50 and after that it's mainly little bells amd whistles here and there with the Extreme 6 getting an extra pci-e x1 slot and a mini pci-e slot along with maybe an extra usb header and sata port.
Both right not have some good gift options with the Extreme 6 giving you a free SSD and the extreme 4 giving you some free ram. I think that unless you neet the ram the one to take is the free SSD option with the extreme 6. But other board makers are offereng free stuff too and I would have to go with an Asus board because they are more overclocking friendly. If you don't have a lot of OC experience then the Asus boards will give you some pretty good preset OC options.
