Alright, I ordered a 2500k prcoessor, and i got 16gb of DDR3 1600 G-skill Ripjaw. I was originally going to get the ASUS p8p67 ws revoultion. But I'm hearing a lot on the ASRock z68 Extreme7 Gen3. I want to have a board that can support the parts i've ordered, and is in the $200-$270 range, no more. If you have any insight or recommendations on this buy it'd be greatly appreciated. One requirement I want is that the PCI express 2.0 x16 slots run dual cards at x16 speeds. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time!

yes, extreme7 is much better option for it's new chipset z68 it's performance is more better than p67 chipset so i recommend extreme7 it's also a gen3 which have pci-e 3.0.

But the sandy bridge doesn't support the 3.0 right?

it's ok they will run fine on it's native performance.

Aight thanks. I saw the board was Tom's Hardware enthusiast choice pick. Hopefully someone with it, or others can post on their thoughts sometime soon. Thanks for your input!

The main reason for my skepticism is that i've never heard of ASRock before. When talking to some friends about it they said I should stick to the ASUS because they're more well known.
