Please help

I am planning to buy a core i5 2500k processor.
Please suggest me a motherboard for 100$ and having features like: SATA 6gb, USB 3, 4 ram slots.
Which ram should i use with it for maximum performance.
I have a Sapphire radeon HD6850 in my current PC but my processor bottlenecks the graphics card, thats why i am upgrading my system.

I don't think any i5 boards have USB3 yet. As far as RAM, DDR3 1333 or 1600 will be fine and is cheap right now.

This board seems to fit what you are looking for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157252 . As a Z68 board you will have the ability to overclock your processor if you choice and it does have a couple USB 3.0 ports, 4 ram slots, 2 sata 6 ports and comes close to $100. When matched up with the Intel® Core™ i5-2500K you should be impress with the performance that it will allow you.
