I am planning on building a gaming PC with a budget of around $900, I have chosen the Nvidia GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card and the Intel Core i5-2500K processor. I am now choosing a motherboard for the build, I have narrowed it down to two motherboards I think are good, their links are below. The motherboard must be able to be purchased on either www.mwave.com.au or www.techbuy.com.au
Here are the motherboards I mentioned earlier, which of them do you think is best (keeping price value in mind)?

Uou should be pricing out ASUS or Gigabyte MBoards for your build...

Any suggestions from the websites I listed? I can only afford a motherboard around $100

Since the MBoard is one of the key components...well they are all key if you want a nice build... i'd consider waiting a bit and saving more money...
No sense wasting a good CPU/system on a below average board.

I am stuck with a budget of $900 (maybe up to $1000) for the whole build, so would an MSI P67A-GD55 (B3) motherboard be okay for the system?
