I'm finally going to make the switch from AMD to Intel but I don't know what motherboard to get. Every single one I look at gets mixed reviews and I was wondering if anyone has any good suggestions. This is the current motherboard I'm looking into: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157296
My budget is $150 and I'm interested in overclocking. I'm getting a 3770K if that info is needed.

ASRock, MSI, Gigabyte. Cant go wrong with those board. That's a beast of a cpu though, might wanna go one step further on that mobo if ya want. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

I would go for ASRock Z77 Extreme4 it's pretty much best option performance/price wise.

I just got that 'exact' mobo on 7/26. I originally bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157302 but I returned it because of its lack of OC capability.
Get it (yours). It's amazing. Anything better you get is not going to be worth the price. It overclocks great; I don't need to manually OC anything to get my 2600k to 4.5 ghz- I can just click that option in the BIOS.
Anyway. It's a great Mobo. I did a lot of research after I fked up buying the first one, and I couldn't find anything better that was worth the large price increase for tiny gain.
