Sandybridge motherboard for around £120

[slypie]

Anyone recommend a sandybridge motherboard for roughly around the £120 mark (preferably £100 if I don't need to spend that much). I have already bought:

i5 2500k CPU
560Ti GPU
8GB RAM 4x 2GB Sticks

I have no intention of using Dual Cards but want something that has plenty of USB ports and a few USB 3.0 ports and maybe EFI as well. Any suggestions welcome

Although if you wait a bit others should come in your price range. That's a mATX board, but that doesn't seem to be a problem for your listed requirements.

Slightly over budget but pretend your paying delivery and you get your head round it

Does it make any difference these days on the form factor of the motherboard (ATX vs mATX).

Well it makes a difference to the form factor and resulting expansion slots : same as always...
