If you haven't tried the used route, you can get great stuff for less price. I only say this because I have a Gigabyte EX58-UD4P board for sale right now. I am using it currently until my classified comes in.
For a great no nonsense OC'ing mobo you can't go wrong with the UD4P. 8 USB ports, Dual Gigabit Lans, CMOS reset on the rear panel 7.1 realtek sound, pretty much the standard high end components you expect. I overclocked my setup to 4.2 GHz stable, but dropped it back down because 12GB of ram started to be a problem. I think this board might be one of the best bang for your buck mobos out there. The bloodrage is a great choice as well, but if you ever want more ram, your stuck with the Bloodrage, unless you want to pay an astronomical price for 4GB sticks!
