Motherboard for $1500 rig

[jackyalvin]

Hey guys, I was wondering what is the best mid range budget 1155 motherboard right now. I will be building the computer in a few days, so I need to find a good motherboard. I would like if I can buy this at a local store; no problem if I need to buy online. (Frys, no tigerdirect, too far)

$100-$250

Specs :
Haf X
GTX 580 (I may get 2 GTX 570 if on sale)
(2x4gb) 8gb Vengeance Corsair
i5 2500k
Hyper 212+ (Push and Pull)
Antec Gamer series 900w
Samsung Spinpoint F3
Asus dvdrw

Needs: Mostly for gaming, no need for on board power, no need for onboard video for the cpu (z68)

These are some of the motherboards I'm considering, what do you think?

Asus p8p67 Pro/Evo, Asus p67Sabertooth, Msi GD65 (How many onboard usb is there for the case? I seen reviews that say you can only plug one (case) usb connector to it. I need 2)

Thank you in advance!

Looking at what you have picked out so far for comnponents those are some pretty good mid to high end components , why are you trying to cheap out on the MB. That is a pretty impoirtant piece of hardware . If I were getting those components I would be putting them in this MB. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131700

Like I said, it seems a lot to pay for the motherboard. I really don't need that.
Do you have have other suggestions?

Thanks in advance though

About the GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD4-B3, how is the Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3? (they only have that at frys)

About the Sabertooth, is it really worth it just for the thermal armour? Many people say it's more useless than help full. And if I need to take the armour off, I need as well but a p8p67.
