I hate to suggest motherboards as some people have issues with MB xxx and others dont but have issues with MB yyy.

I kinda like the Asus MB's although some of the Asrock MB's look nice also. I've used Gigabyte boards without issues in the past.

Research the features of your choices and make sure you get what you need/want.

On another note I'm happy with my P8P67 Pro(Rev 3.0) mb and I doubt I'll change it anytime soon. Had everything I wanted and then some. Got a good deal on the combo at Microcenter so it worked out good for me.
