What is the best bang for buck Intel Sandy Bridge mobo out now?

There are three conditions I require...
1. It must have an Intel 6Gb/s support.
2. Ideally I want to pay less than £200.
3. It must be ATX standard.

Thanks to all replies in advance.

Oh yeah, I'll be sticking a Intel Core i7 2600K CPU in this...

1. If you don't need SLI nor need the features of Z68, then a good motherboard would be a Msi P67 G45. It fulfills all your requirements and will have no problems with overclocking.

2. Want possibility of SLI and going to be using a small SSD in the system, then Asus Z68-V is a step up.

Pass around £140 then only pay more if you really need the features available. More expensive models have features like firewire, bluetooth, more sata ports, dual LAN ports etc. These are generally not good value for money as it would generally be cheaper to get an add-in card if you had specific requirements. It's very easy to pay a lot of money thinking you might need features rather than whether you actually do need them.

Maybe, I should have made myself a little clearer.

I will definitely be overclocking. At the moment, I won't be doing Crossfire/SLI but I do want that option just in case.

I definitely dont need firewire, bluetooth or LAN.

At the moment, with all the revisions of Sandy Bridge, it's soooo confusing as to which I actually need!!

It seems to me a Z68 mobo maybe more suited to me so I will check that Asus Z68-V mobo out, thanks.
