If you shop around you may get an Asus Commando within your budget.

The Striker is the best SLI board on the market today. But if you're not going dual-card then it's a waste of (a lot) of money.

the thing is you only need an expensive motherboard for extreme overclocking, go for a motherboard around your origional budget and use the extra money for some good ram or some good cooling equipment etc.
