So in the IRC chan I have been knocking around the idea of building a "budget" gaming PC, $1k is the price mark. So looking at mother boards chipsets for the Sandy Bridge mess I am seeing the wiki list a lot of model numbers and I have no idea what it means. Can someone link to a great breakdown and which one I should buy/wait for:

Ordered my i7-2600K just now. What mobo should I/can I get for this thing?

I see no reason to buy the Z68 boards. Either you want a performance pc with a graphics card and OC or you want an entertainment PC without a card and therefore you dont need OC.
For people building a performance PC I can highly recommend the Gigabyte UD4
If you can afford it go for the UD7
How's this for a build?
i7-2600K
Noctua NH-D14 cooler
Asus P8P67 Deluxe mobo
16GB Corsair Vengence Ram kit
Asus GTX560 graphics card
Intel 160GB 2G X25-M SSD
1TB WD Black
Corsair HX750 PSU
Lancool K60 case
Not my comp, but work wants to put together a CFD/3D Graphics rendering computer. Thinking of having 2 of these networked atm. I specced a basic GFX card atm as I'm thinking about what to put in.

Atm that card is in there as a filler for a better card. I'm not sure what they can get their hands on at the moment, so yeah. Surely a GTX580 or two would be reasonably quick no? I have no idea when it comes to uber-highend gear.
With a computer around that previous spec though, its most likely they'll build 2 then network them together.
They don't quiet have 100K to blow on this setup, and its not uber-critical.
