Which motherboard for this system?

[Tankata]

i am looking at making a gaming ppc and am pretty much set on what im going to buy but now i need to decide which motherboard and am having some trouble deciding.

i currently am looking at:
intel i7-2600k CPU
Radeon HD 7850
16Gb DDr3 RAM (2x8gb)

Havent decided psu yet but probably 550 or 600W

Additionally, i would like room for 2 more ram sticks (ie 4 total) and 1 more PCIe slot with crossfire enabled (to upgrade graphics later).

Ty for any help

Here's one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138355. Has decent ratings; even a temp reading on the board for the cpu. I use biostar boards.

You don't give a price range for your motherboard. So for our purposes here, I'll assume the middle of the road - about $140 - 150.

For about 140-150, you can get excellent boards without having to stoop to the bargain basement of Biostar and Asrock. You can stick with Gigabyte and Asus.

Two boards that I recommend alot in this range are the following. Which one you get depends on which brand you like better, but the functionality and features are almost identical.
