What's a good stable board for a 3770 w/o a lot of bells and whistles? Stability on this thing will be king so the less complicated the better. I would just like UEFI, native USB3 and SATA3, and at least 6 SATA ports w/o using an extra controller (they don't all need to be SATA6). No OC'ing will be done.

I like the BIOSTAR TZ77XE3, I got one for my build for $99 a while back. It has 2 USB 3.0 on rear panel and a front panel header for two more built into your case. It has the standard intel 2x SATA III and 4x SATA II. It can do SLI or crossfire at 16x0 or 8x8 PCIe 3.0, and has a third slot going through the south bridge at 4x PCIe 2.0. I also have been running a 2500k at 4.5 GHz for a year in it, and have hit 5.0 GHz but I need a better cooler. Set it and forget it, been stable ever since.
