http://www.ebuyer.com/351610-gigabyte-ga-z77m-d3h-socket-1155-vga-dvi-hdmi-8-channel-audio-matx-motherboard-ga-z77m-d3h - mATX (Gave up looking for a decent one as they are rocking the H61 chipsets :/)

If you got the room, get the ATX - Decent sized board, on the side connectors so no strain on your motherboard when plugging them in from top (It sounds silly but I have seen SATA cables snap because of strain.) And if your feeling kinky you can run cross fire but you got a 560 which will handle anything fine, have fun choosing.

Edit: Gigabyte all the way, the amount of dead ASUS RMA boards was shocking, plus when we was forced to use an ASUS within a customers machine, it had a weird shut down issue where you shut it down but it would boot back up. ASUS knew it was a problem but said it happens in rare occurences and they cannot fix it, fml.
