I need to choose between the Biostar TZ68A, its a z68 board. $115
And the intel DP67BG $170 P67

There isnt any complaints on the biostar, however on the dp67bg, its a great board, but the bios key in the back can stick during installation, causing it to bios-loop in a way. I dont know if its the I/O panel or whatever it is, but I need help picking between the 2.

Here is what my parts will be.

Either the dp67bg or tz68a
i5 2500k OC'd to around 4.2 ghz Cooled down with the cm v8
Gskill ripjaws X series 8 gb (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
Corsair gold professional series modular 850w
NZXT phantom
WD 500 gb 6 gb/s caviar blue
Nvidia GTX 560, non ti version
I will mention too that the biostar has the UEFI bios, which is great. I would definitely go with the DP67BG right now if it were not for the complaints of the sticky key, although on newegg, its just a 4/5, 1 egg less because of that key, most people dont have the problem, same on amazon. maybe its just they installed the I/O panel crappy?

Also, I would like to use the back2bios key if all goes well, I dont care a ton that it doesnt have UEFI bios but im fine with the p67's, besides. its a gaming board.
