I'm looking for suggestions on a board to pair with a 2500K. I'm going to hold off upgrading the video cards for now. Looking for good O/C performance and stability. I'll be running crossfire, but will more than likely move to a single card for the next upgrade. I'd like to keep it under $200.

Thoughts? Not the right forum, but memory suggestions would be appreciated as well.
 
Thanks for the suggestion.

100+ views though - is this the clear cut best board for what I'm doing? Or are there similar offerings from Gigabyte/MSI?

I am not very clear on the part that you mentioned that you are going CF but going single GPU at the next upgrade. Anyways this 2 motherboards should do you well and I usually recommend a PCIE 8x8x CF/SLi motherboard as opposed to PCIE 16x4x.

I'm currently running two 4890's, and I think combined with a SB CPU, they'll do fine for now. I was hoping to get a board that would be a capable overclocker, and be able to do CF... However by getting a 8x/8x board am I limiting the performance of a single GPU down the road? If that's the case, I'd rather go 16x/4x...
 
The Asrock P67 Extreme4 is a nice board suitable for your purposes.
You won't lose much at all doing 8x/8x.
