Also, I plan on getting another 670 GTX to SLI in the future, so that will be the extent of my graphical necessity; I don't see PCIE 3.0 being important (from my limited knowledge).
So it really comes down to..
It seems like IB is about $30~ more than SB, and the mobos are maybe $10~20 more depending.
so let's say an even $50 more for an IB setup that doesn't really perform that much better? Or does it?~? ONLY TIME (and your posts) will tell!!

You should be able to hit 4.2 GHz at stock voltage on IB.

I am thinking your typical Asrock is fine: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293
From my understanding for the price that will offer me the best overclock.
There are options from MSI, Giga, Asus.. what do you guys think?
Edit: Il'l Xpost this over to mobo section, dont' want to anger the gods =D

I love my MSI Z77A-GD55 and I have OC'd a 3770k to 5.0 GHz stable @ 1.38v on it. And the price on it is good.
