I would have a look at the ASRock offerings, just had a quick look and don't seem to be much difference with any of them.
Personally i would opt for a ASRock one as their support has been top notch for me.

I have a ASUS P5QSE2. It have run +4.5 years non-stop. Great MB. I noticed that some tried to get more info from you but I guess it is the same as when my mom ask me - I want t a good car for $ xx.xxx. What do you suggest?. If you level of PC hardware knowledge is as my mother's car ditto then just say so and you will get tons of suggestions and it will leave you even more confused. So...a little bit of info is needed.Anyone recommend me some good motherboards for around $120?

gaming, though i encode videos sometimes too.
i also liked the whole dual bios thing gigabyte has which was making me lean toward them since i didn't see any other boards with that.
Looking at some ASRock boards (i just noticed your name.... Do you work for them?) they seem great too.
the ASRock Z170 Extreme3 seems comparable to the gaming 3 one.
Z170 Extreme4 does have dual bios i believe in fact all of them might have it, best way would be to ask them and would not be surprised if they replied pretty promptly.
And no my name has nothing to do with ASRock of any company. It was thought of during Diablo 2 as a naming scheme, As being the actual name and Rock being the char name.

yeah i was looking into it, they seem to have some sort of backup where it will boot to a bios on a usb you make or something. Not as nifty as what gigabyte claims to have but just having a backup is fine with me.
How are asrock boards with overclocking cpus? I tried googling for reviews of the ASRock Z170 EXTREME 3 but no one seems to have made any.
