Z77 mobo for i5 2500k

[Houseboratheon]

I plan on doing a 3d setup so I will be getting 2x 680 or maybe 2x 670 but point is I will be getting a i5 2500k( I want to stick with sandy for temp reasons) and I was wondering what is a good z77 mobo for OCing a I5 2500k and running a sli setup. my cpu cooler will be a hyper 212 evo by the way. I will also prefer to stick with evga or asus.

Tom's Hardware did a nice review recently of six z77 boards in the $160 - $220 price range.

The winner was a tie between the ASRock and MSI boards. Here are a couple more ideas on the more expensive side ...

ASUS Sabertooth - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131821

ASUS Z77 Deluxe - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131818


You could also consider the ASRock Extreme4 for a cheaper but capable option - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

I personally bought the ASRock Extreme6 for my new build.
