I've renamed the thread to something more suitable, as that will help with responses.

It would be helpful to know what features you desire as well. Do you need a minimum number of SATA ports, a certain number of PCI-E lanes? The motherboard you choose for your budget depends on several factors, its not just a case of getting the one closest to your budget.

thx, for the help there...
I want to have the opportunity to expand to 2 GTX 670 in the future, and the ability to have 16 gigs of ram.
ive also bought the following items so far

Case – Corsair Graphite Series 600T Special Edition White
Boot Drive – Corsair Force Series 3 120GB SSD
Storage – Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB HDD

As Lee said, a good description of the intended usage will be very helpful.
As far as a performance/buck ratio is concerned, nothing I've seen beat Asrock so far. You might want to check out the P-series and Z-series (a.k.a. Extreme series).I personally recommend the Asrock Z77 Extreme6.
Asrock is a sub-brand of ASUS, I've heard, so you might want to also take a look at it's ASUS equivalent for feature variations.
Sabertooth maybe?

Also, check out our Z77 motherboard shoot-out as well: https://www.techspot.com/review/521-intel-z77-motherboard-roundup/

Both the Asrock Z77 Extreme 6, or the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H and Z77X-UD5H-WB (if you want wireless and bluetooth as well, otherwise identical to UD5H) are ideal for your requirements, and under or around your budget.

Me personally, I'd go with the Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H, its a fantastic motherboard.
