Can someone please recommend me a good Z77 board under $175?
I'd like you to list the features it has, and tell me why you chose it.
I'd also like it to a ATX, but it doesn't have to be.

Looks like you're looking for a budget board. If so MSI would be a good option. MSI Z77A-GD65 169$ or GD55 149$

Features:

Military Class III components: Top quality & stability
OC Genie II: Auto OC to boost performance in 1 sec
ClickBIOS II: Easy-to-use UEFI BIOS interface
Super Charger: fast charge iPad/iPhone/smartphone
THX TruStudio PRO: deliver the fullest audio experience

It's also a good overclocking board for a beginner

It's hard to suggest a motherboard without knowing what you're going to use it for. Here is a comparison between 5 different brands that are 160-180$ price range
