Hi,

Looking for suggestions on a motherboard that suits my build so far. All below items are already purchased:-

I5 2500
Coolermaster Storm Enforcer case ( With an additional 200mm fan installed )
SAPPHIRE 6950 2GB TOXIC Edition ( Switched to 6970 )
G.SKILL RIPJAWS (2x4gb) DDR3 1600 Mhz [F3-12800CL9D-8GBR]
OCZ Agility 3 - 2.5" 60GB SSD SATA III (Boot Drive / Primary programs )
Western Digital WD 2TB Caviar Black SATA 3 ( Programs/Games)
Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB 5900rpm Sata 3 ( Storage Drive )
Antec Eco 520w PSU

The motherboard will have to support usb 3.0 headers as the case has two at the front.

Budget is up to $150, although less is better :)

And would people suggest a p67 or z68 board? I won't be overclocking anything.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!
 
Combining the advantages of the Intel P67 and H67 platforms in one complete package,

the GIGABYTE Z68 series offer the best of both worlds; users can take advantage of the

system tuning and overclocking features found in the Intel P67 platform as well as the

built-in visual features of the H67 platforms when combined with 2nd generation Intel Core

processors.

Really great board, ... But well worth for the price.
