I have the Sabertooth , solid as a rock and comes with a 5 year warranty.

The best (although £2.99 overbudget) is the ROG Hero for OC, cheaper boards probably the UD3H and if you want built in Wifi/BT then the MPower (non-SP).

OK I have narrowed it down to

Gigabyte Z87X-UD4H Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

Asus Z87 MAXIMUS VI FORMULA Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
(OK its a little more expensive than I had planned)

MSI Z87 MPower Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard

What is the best out of these 3 and which is easiest to over clock?
