If the PC is for game, I will recommend to get the I5-3570K instead I7 and get one of the Z77MB. You can chose one from the tom harware reviews.

ASRock Z77 Extreme4, or Gigabyte Z77X-D3H
ASRock's Z77 Extreme6 , or MSI's Z77A-GD65

From all the motherboard manufacturers I have tried I would at this point only recommend asus boards, go with either a maximus v gene for under $200 or if you really want a nice motherboard spend a little more and get the formula if you decide to water cool eventually the chipset is already set up for it out of the box, or the p8z77 ws which actually overclocks a bit better if your not running water cooling. If you are planning on buying the h100 you should reconsider and buy a water cooling kit, they are maybe like $50-70 more expensive for a cpu loop but you could do cpu and chipset with only a little more tubing. otherwise you'll be dissapointed with the h100 I bought one and had to throw it out and do a custom loop the results were too dissapointing.
