Finding an LGA1155 motherboard (help appreciated)

I sold my 2 Asus gtx 660 ti:s to a friend of mine but it turns out that his motherboard does not support SLI.

I've spent the last 4 hours trying to find a compatible board but almost everything i find is too expensive (>200€/$), isn't compatible with his current cpu (Intel 3770) or does not ship internationally (needs to be shipped to Finland).

I did however find an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 but according to this post it has got some problems, can someone verify this?

All help is very much appreciated.

I've had this mobo for about a year now, and I have had absolutely no issues what so ever, I have never tried SLI, but I do intend to buy another 660ti and go SLI so I can't comment on that. But I have overclocked my CPU  (3770k) to quite a decent OC and have never ever experienced any overheating issues at all.

CPU: i7 3770k@ 4.6Ghz@ 1.23v - GPU: Palit GTX 660ti - MOBO: Asrock Extreme 4 - RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - PSU: OCZ 650watt - STORAGE: 128Gb corsair force GT SSD/ 1TB seagate barracuda 7200rpm

The Extreme 4 is a perfectly good board. Every product is going to have someone saying it's awful and to stay away from it. I've seen far more people be happy with it than saying it's bad. #

 

Also, you'll probably want to order it from the UK site to avoid getting hit with massive import and customs fees. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Z77-Extreme4-Motherboard-Supports-CrossFireX/dp/B007KTY4A6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1407188456&sr=8-3&keywords=z77
