Edit: if mods read this please move to intel motherboards section this was a mistake.

My motherboard broke I was wondering what do you recommend I was looking to spend under $200 I need a Z77 chipset and I plan on doing a lot of overclocking, and trying to get the highest clock stable.

I see this one is a little pricey but it has a really high rating on newegg:

I you like the plastic coating on that board it will serve you well, I have heard that they OC just as well as most other Asus boards... I don't care for the sabertooth but that is just me.

I don't really care for the coating or not. I'm not trying to go for looks on this rig, atleast not yet anyway maybe when I get into elaborate water cooling, but for now I just want a well rated good quality z77 motherboard that is easily understandable and good for overclocking.

The only reason I linked that one was because it had a high rating on newegg.
