Build question: Motherboard

[TheMaristBoy]

Hey guys, sorry but it's me again.

I'll be building a PC soon by myself and hoping for good OC and SLI. But I'm caught up between two tempting motherboards.
One is the Asrock P67 Extreme 4 which I like because it seems solid and has a great bundle. BUT I've heard many people having problems with OCing with it and stuff like overheating. On the other end I'm looking at the Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H which I like because it's about 40 bucks less than the Extreme 4, and it's a Z68 BUT it does look like a wimpy and weak looking board. Please help, with that 40 bucks savings I could invest on a new case or something. Thanks!

Oh I'm sorry but I forgot to mention that I'm buying locally since there is no online shopping in my country >.< and that Asus board doesn't have SLI

I wouldn't choose either of the boards you mentioned. I would only consider a z68.
