Need a good Mobo for new build

[datguy88]

Hello, I'm picking parts for a new gaming computer i want to build and have majority of the parts finalized,but even when I think I have a good build, I always question as to whether the motherboard I picked is good for my set-up.

I want to get an I5 2500k, so I know that I need an lga 1155 socket, but I don't know if I should get p67 or z68. I also want to use a single gtx 570 superclocked from evga, (whether or not I'll SLI down the line has yet to be decided). I also want to get a 40gb ssd for the boot drive.

With these conditions for a build, could someone please give me some tips on a good motherboard to get for my build? I plan on doing a lot of gaming (especially Battlefield 3), and I would really like to find one for under $200.

Any tips that could be given would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'd go for Intel or patriot for the ssd. This http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128495 should work fine for you if you don't need pci slots. For atx, this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128488 is loaded with everything but the onboard video. For overclocking, unless you have a good power supply, I wouldn't fool with it until you run for awhile. Don't know how warranty works where you live. I just sent in a biostar low end board for a minor problem; they are good about rma's.

Earlier, Asus Z68 P8Z68 was recommended to me. Check out its specifications.
