I am planning on building a computer within the month and cannot decide on a mother board to use. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/R6McRB I want to overclock the build and don't know what mother board to use. I have enough money in my budget for $150-200, I don't know much about motherboards but I have heard gigabyte and asus are good to use. Also if anyone wants to make suggestions on my build I am more than open to suggestions.

OC? Well the Mpower should be good for that

 

Otherwise you could take a look at this http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=4959#ov if you want Sata Express

 

Or http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132118 if you like Asus

 

 

XFX's cooler isn't really any good, it's loud and [relatively] hot, get the TF4 or Windforce or DCII or something better.
