Well...that kind of OC for that price...does any store near you have ASRock or Biostar motherboards?
About me not liking Gigabyte, just their BIOS and some layout options they make on some models...but hey, that's just me!

EDIT: The problem with Intel mobos is that you really have to put cash on the table if you want a fully featured motherboard. Here, good motherboards start showing-up at around 160€ (~$197)...both in terms of features and OC capability.
