Motherboard help

[SlayerM82A1]

I'm gonna do my first computer build and i wanna do it right as i want it to last me for a while. I have everything else i want for the build and i even had a motherboard picked, but one of my friends who builds computers made me second guess my self so now I'm researching.

My build is for gaming and overclocking. I want SLI and CrossFireX capable as well as a motherboard that will handle overclocking. I prefer ASUS boards so if u can suggest one that is ASUS i would be happy but other brands are ok. Price range is below $250.. Oh and i heard that asus broads can do overclocking but not very well, and i'm gonna be doing a medium amount overclocking and i want a good board. But I wanna know if that is true.

Other Components:
CPU: Intel I7-2600K
Motherboard (was thinking): ASUS P8Z68V-Pro
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3
Video: EVGA GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
Power: Corsair AX750
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 750GB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Midtower
DVD Drive: Some Blu- ray drive

If u have any questions just ask.

Yeah I have a feeling they prefer gigabyte over ASUS but how much will i get outta the processor with this.

I've always like Asus boards. But my first Asrock is the best board I've ever had so far. Definitely the fastest, easiest to set-up. Easy overclocker.
