Just making a new build:

Case: Cooler master HAF 912
CPU: i5 2500k
GPU: EVGA 560 ti SC
PSU: Corsair 650W Tx
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB

So what motherboard would go best with all that?

Gigabyte: http://www.ebuyer.com/276562-gigab [...] m=products

Asus http://www.ebuyer.com/281367-asus- [...] p8z68-v-lx

They are very similar in price, I won't be doing SLI. But I'm going to Overclock at some point.

Just need to know which one is best or if there is any better for around the same price! Thanks

Well Gigabytes new boards like the UD7 have been seeming to blow up left and right over the past few months. I have seen good things on their older boards. ASUS has many boards to offer and i have had best luck with they're AM3 and AM3+ Sabertooth boards. I would recommend ASUS...Yea id say ASUS

------------------------------ MY RIG: CPU:AMD Phenom II 980/GPU: EVGA GTX 670/Mobo:AM3+ 990FX Sabertooth/Ram: 8 Gigs of Kingston Hyper X/PSU: Corsair TX 750/CPU Cooler: Corsair A70/ Case: CM Storm Trooper Full Tower
