Hey there,
Building a new i5 2500k system and am not sure which mobo to use. It will be primarily used for gaming and must support Crossfire for two HD6950's. Going to be overclocking cpu so want a reliable stable board and a quality brand. Any help appreciated Cheers!

All these mobos are SLI and Crossfire ready, these are from diference price ranges , you will be fine with any of these.Read about them to see if they are compatible with your necesities.( USB 3.0, USB2.0 , number of PCIE slots ).
