I would go i5 750 for the uses you listed so you can save ~$100.

Is there any special features you want in a motherboard? SLI/Xfire? USB3.0/SATAIII?

You'll have to get the HDMI from the GPU. Also, SATAIII and SATA 6Gb/s are the same thing

EDIT: Here are two USB3.0/SATAIII boards without Xfire/SLI for $130: ASUS P7P55D-E LX and Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3

Check this board out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130239. It has USB 3, Crossfire and SLI and its a great overclocker. I have an MSI Bib Bang Fuzion and the OC Genie works well. Also it will overclock to 4.0ghz easy. Also if you want an extreme board and are okay with open box check this out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130238R. This board supports Triple Video Cards and overclocks better.
