After lots of thinking, I pulled the trigger and picked up an Intel Core i5 2500K. I'm looking for a good value motherboard. I don't need nor do I want SLI/Crossfire. What I need is a motherboard with good power phase, overclock well with 4 DIMMS, and USB 3.0.

I've read around and it seems like some favor the Biostar TZ68A+. It is a cheap board, but I'm looking to see if there are any other cheaper, but good options.

Thanks!

I don't have any experience with biostar mobos, what sort of price difference is the asus P8Z68-V LX or the Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3 they both seem to match your criteria.

Beware of the Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3, it has no VCORE adjustment. I am running my 2500k now with it but can only moderately overclock it.
