I've decided to go with the i5-3570k over the i5-2500k for my new build. From researching here and elsewhere, I've gathered that the recommended motherboard for this CPU is the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO.

While I would love to buy this nice motherboard, I would also love to save some money. All I need in this motherboard is:
1) SATA 6
2) PCI 3.0 (for a GTX 670 FTW, at least 2 slots would be nice as well in case I SLI in the future)
3) Wireless internet connection
4) Good overclockability for the CPU
So is there another motherboard that is "good" and qualifies with these four specifications that costs less than the ASUS P8Z77-V PRO? I am willing to pay the $209.99 for it, but money saved is money earned.
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
