The two things I have left to buy are the motherboard and the RAM. As you can see from my CPU purchase, I need it to be an 1156 socket type. I would like it to be <$200, but still a nice mobo. I plan on SLI in the next few months, so I need it to be SLI compatible. USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 are not extremely important (I'm not very experienced with them), but if it's a good deal I will go for it. I don't plan on overclocking the mobo much (I don't see any significant benefits), but I will overclock my CPU and maybe my RAM (my GPU is factory overclocked).

I am torn on what motherboard to buy; I like both Asus and Gigabyte, with the latter having my slight preference. However, all but the most expensive motherboards from Gigabyte do not have SLI support, and Asus has a lot of products, making selection confusing. I don't want to rule other board manufacturers out, but these two seem to have the best rep.

What can you guys tell me? I am open to suggestions about USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 as well. If you convince they're important, I will definitely consider them as well.

Thank you for you feedback.
