New motherboard inquiries

[deadmaufive]

I'm getting a new motherboard and I was wondering about some good ATX sizes around $180 or less. I want a minimum of 2 PCIe x16, USB3.0 and 1155 socket. I don't however, want gigabyte, I've been having bad luck with them for a while now, and would just feel better to stay away. Any suggestions would be nice.

My rig as of now:
Coolermaster haf 932 Full Tower Case
Intel Core i5 2400 3.1Ghz
Thermaltake 750W PSU
2x4GB (8 GB total) G-Skill Sniper Series DD3 2133Mhz RAM
Nvidia GT 420(buying a GTX660/ti soon)

I've used biostar, asus, and msi boards; take your pick. Biostar has had fewer ram issues; asus the best bios update support; msi mixed reviews, but I had no problems with their rma setup.

I really like that ASUS board you posted. It my be my top pick so far. Thank You.

Also, any idea how good ASrock is?

I had two asrock boards briefly; didn't like their bios setup, but these boards were 775. Alot of improvements since then, but asrock and asus can be picky about ram. I always stick to the standard 9-9-9-24 1.5v ram for ddr3 boards. You can pay extra for 1866 or 2166 ram, but getting the ram to run at those speeds is not that easy.
