I have found the CPU and memory that I am looking for. I am now looking for a motherboard to fit into this setup. I have looked at motherboards until my eyes have bled (at least it feels that way)!

I can't seem to find a motherboard to fit this setup. I know there are hundreds of them but I don't have the knowledge to decide on the MB. I REALLY need help with some options.

I need choices in the top, midline, and lower ranges (quality/price) of motherboards or key specs to look for in a mb so I can make a decision (also, if there are better choices with the CPU/memory I am willing to listen)

I am begging for help before my wife decides I don't NEED these items :D

These are the CPU and memory chosen:

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000
