Not sure which MOBO to get for i5 2500k and a new GFX Card in the near future.

Hi,

Purchased an i5 2500k yesterday, and now looking for a new motherboard. Two which I've been looking at have ~£25 difference:

Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 Intel Z68 - £99.98
or
Asus P8P67 LE Intel P67 - £74.99

Completely unsure as to which to purchase. Financially there isn't an issue, if paying the extra ~£40 for the Gigabyte can be justified that is. I plan on overclocking the 2500k slightly, and I am looking at purchasing a new graphics card a bit closer to when Battlefield 3 is released.

So, can spending the extra for the Gigabyte be justified, or should I save £25 and put that towards a new graphics card in the near future?

Thanks in advance

Nevermind. Ended up going for the cheaper motherboard. After thinking about it a bit more, I'd prefer to save the money in preparation for Uni in a couple of weeks.
