Unfortunately, I'm afraid there won't be another ROG ATX board that's cheaper than the Formula (Which I linked in my first post).
Might as well stick to Gigabyte then, unless you want to consider the P8Z77-V series.

Plus, it gives you less room to work, even if you are a fanboy of Asus ROG, really, do not go with a matx. The Gigabyte Ga-Z77X-UD5H is AWESOME! Gigabyte, weather you like it or not, is higher rated and stuff than Asus, and is a better value than the sabertooth. The only thing actually better about the sabertooth is the look, for $50 more. A GA-Z77X-UD3H might be all you need, check the features list of both.

reviving a few day old thread because i read this and had to reply....

where is your proof?

I'm sorry to say, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to overclocking using a mATX board...

Well, I wont lie, on a ROG mATX, it overclocks great. However, it still has slightly less of the things I said above, so a enthusiast board like a ROG Rampage will still perform better. And I just plain dont reccomend a Asus board, they have got a bad rep the last few years, luckly I have not got trouble with mine and have to deal with their sounds bad RMA service.
