Which Motherboard should I get?

[iDuskFang]

I am building my first PC and I want everything to be perfect. I keep researching and finding "good" parts then switching them for others due to mixed reviews. I'm looking for a motherboard around like $150-200 and a good one. I need it to have some kind of good onboard sound a BIOS so I can overclock it easily. I was going to go with AsRock Extreme 4 Gen 3 or whatever but I hear there lacking. I dunno I'm just looking for the heart of my $2000 computer and want it to be good...

Thanks!

Sorry i've been typing stuff all day after 8 hours of class so I'm tired. Forgot to mention it's for a i7-2700k CPU and eventually want 16Gb of RAM but will start with 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance.

U should get something that is equal in the quality of the CPU, as the mobo is the centerpiece of the system!

If u own the 2700K, alright.

But if u can return it or chose the 2600K, do that.

It will give u 0% benefit over 2600K.

Just my 2cents...
