I have gone through several motherboards with Asus at this point and I give up. My current motherboard is giving me issues. I am willing to spend money on a new motherboard so I don't have to deal with Asus anymore. I own a Asus ROG Maximus Hero IV and all it has given me is problems. Two my USB ports don't work anymore and I ive been getting usb over current status often. This is the third time I have had that same issue with a different asus board. I need your advice to look for a good motherboard that is not asus and has at least 8 sata ports which I need seven of them for my hardrives and won't cost me an arm and leg. I am looking for the 160 to 190 dollar range. A solid board that has good reviews and will be easy to set up.

Here are my current specs

Intel Core I7 4770K processor
Nividia GTX 650TI
Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D Fatal1ty
CORSAIR AX series AX860 860W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
Two G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Case: IN WIN GRone
Heatsink: Noctua NH-U14S
