Need top notch mobo

[gamerxavier]

need best quality mobo for $275 and under. I will be over-clocking looking for something with a really good built in ethernet port for mmorpgs not required though.

What is your cpu?

Here you go: A$US P8P67 WS REVOLUTION LGA 1155 for $269. It has 2 ethernet ports!

right now I'm working towards getting one. I've got an old pentium thing. figure the i5-2500k would be nice. Also, I was looking on newegg and found that intel has 3 x68 boards out already. Would it be worth waiting for a majority of companies to put them out before getting a new board?

The Z68 boards are nice but I would 1) wait for a little while before getting one (don't be the first one) and 2) if the build is for gaming, your really won't see any benefits with the Z68.... IMO

I would go with the ASUS P8P67 Deluxe or Pro, at a minimum. Either of these boards will meet or exceed your needs.

There might be several boards that are more balanced based upon your needs. Check out this recent article on Tom's: High-End P67 Express: Five $200-250 Motherboards.
