    I just went for the Asus P8Z77VLX in the end, after reading some reviews performance wise its actually not bad at all. Overclocking wise it will be fairly mild though I imagine which is fine for me.

    Funny you say that since my z68 board died, a maximus formula x38 with a c2q is my standby setup... still surprisingly capable tbh But on topic im in the same boat and Im leaning towards a new setup due to lack of boards, but at the end of the day that's what they want.
