Exclamation Asus motherboard?

Hey, i'm looking to build a custom sooner or later buying the parts in increments and i've gotten to the time to order a mother board, i intend on using an amd phenom II black edition cpu and I'm wondering what motherboard would best suit this within a reasonable price as well, but with some decent over-clocking power. any info or comments are greatly appreciated thanks

You can also take a look here:

http://www.overclock.net/amd-cpus/49...oc-thread.html

If you look at the charts, you can see what boards people are using to get good overclocks. RAM is also really important for high overclocks but the MB helps a ton.
