So now I'm concerned about the gigabyte board. I'd liked it because it had a good auto-overclock that kept the turbo enabled from what I've read but it seems like there are a lot of 2nd hand complaints about it. I've started getting parts (my 3770K just arrived today and I should be getting the H100 in Tuesday) so I'm getting a little ansy but I've lost confidence in my mobo pic. I can go up into 200+ for an ASUS board but I don't want to if I don't get much out of it -- and I don't need onboard wifi.

Don't worry about it you'll be fine. Expensive mobos are not on the whole more reliable than cheap mobos. The primary sources of failure (solder joints) are the same between $200 and $50 boards because they roll off the same assembly line.
