Hey guys, i need help with a motherboard. I need one that look's good, and support's 2 way SLI. I am looking between $120-170 AUD. I will not be OC'ing (locked CPU) but may do light OC'ing in the future when i get a new unlocked CPU. Thank's for everyone who helps.

There are no SLI-ready B85 boards in Australia.
