Spec me a mobo please

[SkScotchegg]

Hi there peeps, I've decided to build a new rig and dont know much about what to look for in a mobo, I am quite hardcore with the gaming and was thinking of going intel and sli, can you help me choose a decent motherboard please.

I've been looking in the Z87 range and was wondering if this mobo is ok?

My budget is £150 and I've never overclocked before in my life but this motherboard says it has features which make it easy for begginers, so do you reckon it will be ok for me or can you recommend anything better if not?

Thanks in advance.

Get this while its cheap
gigabyte z87x-oc
Uk RMA (not saying it will be faulty lol) but makes it easier to deal with

Thats what I have, I'm well pleased with it, although I've not used any of the others

Maybe something like the Gigabyte UD4H aswell, though if you're a hardcore gamer you could look at one of the sniper boards instead. Gigabyte is very easy to overclock with using the EasyTune program, and is quite easy to do through the BIOS as well for manual tuning.
