Need a good board to go with Xeon E3 1230 V2

Ordering from PCCG

I'm building myself an Intel system and I've got everything else picked out, now I just need a decent board to go with the CPU. I'm willing to spend $160 max, would rather keep it around $130. I'm kinda leaning towards one of ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ($149) or ASUS P8Z77-M PRO ($139), even though the former is a bit pricier it is full ATX. All suggestions welcome.

I'm not going to OC at all, this is strictly a workstation PC.

I'm ordering tomorrow, unless anyone objects/has better suggestions I'm going for the ASRock Z77 Extreme 4. I'm also kind of considering getting the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 ($169, on sale) and downgrading the CPU to a i5 2320 to save a little, is this board good? I'll probably stick with the Xeon, though.

People have had weird issues with the Extreme 4.

If the CPU you want works with this http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_711_1183&products_id=19861 that would be a great choice.

Or something like this http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_711_1183&products_id=20002

unless you plan to buy ecc ram, theres no point in buying the xeon. get the i5 series instead

thats the only workstation grade board i can find on that page

or if you can find the P8B-WS that would be a good choice too, but thats for ecc ram support, the z series boards dont support it

Why's that? It seems comparable to an i7 except it has no IGP (which I don't need anyway), and it's $60 cheaper than the i7 3770, which seems like an awesome deal to me.

Anyway, I'm not looking for exactly a workstation workstation board, just a very, very, very reliable board that will do its job in a workstation... $300 is a bit much. I'll get it if it's definitely worth it, but I don't need 24/7 throughout the year at all costs reliability and all that, something I imagine proper workstation boards try to do.
