I'm looking for the best mobo i can get for 100-150 for an E6750 that is capable of doing some Overclocking (I'm a beginner and am trying to get into the OC field. :) )

If you could link me to a new egg page of a good mobo for 100-150, i'd appreciate it.
 
I won't pretend I know everything, as you can see I also have a thread started about mobos, but I will share what I know.

The Asus P5B is supposed to be a very good overclocking board and it fits in your budget. There is also the newer Asus P5K which should be good, but I do not know it very well.

Then, there is also the Gigabyte DS3 which is also offering good overclockability and is similar to the P5B. Gigabyte also has a P35 based mobo (similar to the P5K) which is also unknown to me, but you could do a bit of research on that.
 
I would recommend the DS3, it is a solid board and I have used it in 2 builds with great sucess.
 
And Gigabyte that has D in front is all solid caps. I've bought a P5KC, but now, I'm broke as a piece of glass. I'd recommend you, if you want to save a bit more, the Gigabyte P35C-DS3R. The P5KC is the same, but that, you buy at whichever you find the most promising.

Personally, the ASUS sure looks good, but the big drawback is the IDE channel, being at the other end of the board. Inconvenient for CD drives.
 
If you save a bit much, the P35C-DS3R or the P5KC is good. The only inconvenient with the P5KC is the IDE port being under the PCI slots. That could make you move your DVD drive to the last 5 1/4 slot.
