Just going off my recent build with an i5-750, I was able to buy an Open Box MSI p55-GD65 motherboard for around $120 and I love it. It looks good, very cheap (though it doesn't have USB 3.0 or Sata III), has a VERY beefy power delivery system (called Dr. Mos) and has a great OC for dummies button. I'm happy very happy with it, but then again I haven't used the Asus Boards.
