Opinion on what motherboard to pair with my CPU

[1depp1]

Hi all.. first of all, this is my budget : $200

secondly, this is my current build :

cpu: i5 2500K
mobo: Gigabyte H61
gpu: GTX 560Ti
ram: 8GB ddr3 ram
psu: Aerocool strike x 800w

now, i guess you are all wondering why am i pairing an unlocked cpu to an entry level mobo...

let me explain...

on november last year, i bought:

an i3 2100 cpu, this gigabyte H61, gt 430, 2 GB ddr3 ram, CM extreme power 400w.

then, i slowly changed the ''organs'' of my pc to reconstruct it to be an ok gaming pc. beginning february this year due to
bulging paper in my pocket.

in a nutshell, now, i am planning to oc, SLI, my cpu...

so, dearest forumers, please do suggest the list of motherboards to suit my needs..( as i said $200 to burn for a mobo )

ALL OPINIONS NEEDED!! :lol:

IMO for gaming, a huge % still dun even leverage on quads so in your shoes i'd pass on a pricey board and if i need more frames just go for the jugular i.e a single GTX 670/HD 7970

With H61 you lose access to the multiplier so you won't be able to get all the features of the 2500K. What motherboard you get depends on how much you want to spend.
