Help choosing a MB for i5-2500K budget gaming rig

[TimCat]

Building a new budget gaming rig and need some assistance picking the motherboard.

Have a $150 gift card to Walmart that is burning a hole in my wallet so I am trying to find a motherboard from their website to purchase.

So far I am looking at the Asus P8P67 Deluxe, Asus P8Z68-V or the MSI Z68MA-ED55 B3.

Not sure if the Deluxe is worth the $40 over the V, or if the V is worth $30 over the MSI.

Keep in mind I want something good without spending more than necessary.

I want to overclock and my long term goal is to do SLI and RAID0 with 6gb SATA.

Been out of the game for a while (last rig I built was over 3 years ago) so any help is appreciated.

I've never seen motherboards at walmart, and I've worked there. Save your gift card for black friday. http://www.amazon.com/P8P67-DELUXE-REV-3-0-Motherboard/dp/B004QF0VDG/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1322088040&sr=1-5

They sell components online. The only ones I really saw to choose from are the ones I listed above.

I'd be at either tha Asus P8P67 Deluxe, Asus P8Z68-V Pro/GEN3

Which one depends on ya budget and whether ya "need" Z68 ....I don't think ya do but decide for yaself after reading this:
