Do you plan to crossfire/sli if so which cards?

Do you have a soundcard?

Asrock Fatal1ty Z68 Pro Gen 3 intel Z68

Asrock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 Intel Z68

These both get my vote, is your soundcard a PCI-E? If so either of these boards will do you fine plenty of sata ports and they are both future proof with the PCI-E 3.0

Check Vortez for reviews

they did quite a few of new Gen3 mobos with PCIE 3.0 support
