Asus Sabertooth x58 Motherboard

Hey,

I have an Intel i7 970 processor and I am looking for a motherboard for it. The one I was looking at was the Asus Sabertooth x58. I am looking to spend ~200, 250 max for it. Is this the most bang for my buck motherboard that I am going to be able to get? Or are there others that I should be looking at?

Thanks!

Don't buy a new X58 motherboard. I just bought an EVGA X58 FTW3 ($270 on Newegg) for $110 shipped. Really good motherboards are going for really cheap used with the release of Sandy Bridge.
