Best/very good LGA 1155 mini ITX motherboard?

[H2OMC]

Hey, I've been looking at going Intel on my current rig as a big future upgrade. Right now I'm looking at the i5-3350P which means new motherboard since I'm running an AMD cpu right now. I have very limited desk space which brought me to the Corsair 350D for my case. As most of you probably know, the 350D does both uATX and mini ITX. my current uATX board is ok, but pretty limited on IO and other useful features due to the size. This leaves me with mini ITX boards to choose from. I had my eye on the Z87I-Deluxe for a while, but it's LGA 1150 rather than the 1155 needed for the i5-3350P. The big question is: what are some good LGA 1155 mini ITX motherboards? On the price side, I'm looking for good value. Doesn't have to be a budget board, just not over the top on the price side unless the features justify the price. I would like to do some overclocking as well. I won't be going crazy but I'd love to get a good clock on the i5.

Thanks!

EDIT: heh, should have mentioned, this isn't a workstation build or anything, I am a gamer, I do gaming

Do u have that 3350P cpu? That is locked cpu. So no OC with that.
U need 3570k or new LGA 1150 4670K for OC.

Good mITX ehy mITX if case enables to use mATX?

Thanks for making note of the fact that the 3350P isn't unlocked. I don't have the cpu, I was just looking at it for the future. I'll have my eye on the 35 or 4670K now that I have better knowledge of how the Intel lineup works as far as unlocked vs. locked. Looking at the motherboards you linked they look super solid. I'll have to scope out just how much I can spend before I make any hard decisions, but I'll be referring back to your post as I go forward!
