Appropriate motherboard for i7 2700k

[Tyrotoxicity]

I am starting a second build but need advice on an appropriate motherboard for the 1155 socket that comes with the 2700k. I am looking to OC it quite heavily (I also have a Corsair H80 coming with my 2700k so that should be enough cooling). I heard that Gigabyte boards are quite good for OCing. Any suggestions?

About 3 months in, and I'm loving this new Asrock:

Best board I've ever used. No problems other than a few freezes while playing flash video on the web that seemed to be related to onboard video, and that all z68 boards seem to have had in some form or another. Finally put in a dedicated graphics card (gtx 560 ti) and no freezes since. Sheer perfection!

Here are 4 boards that I like at that level that I like they are the Asus P8Z68-V Pro (Gen3), Gigabyte GA-Z68Xp-UD4, the MSI Z68A GD65 (Gen3) and the Intel® Desktop DZ68BC. they are all right around the same price and close to the same features.
