ASUS P8P67 Deluxe LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Intel Motherboard
Item #: N82E16813131679


or


Intel BOXDP67BG LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Item #: N82E16813121474

Or is there another board I should be looking at all together?

I'm aware that no-one has tested these in the real world so I will appriciate that your answers will be (informed) opinion only at the moment.....

The Asus out of the two. Intel boards have overclocking limitations. If you want to save some money you could look into the PRO version of the Asus board.
