I'd go with either gigabyte or an Asus one m8 I like A-bit as well, but they are mainly for the AMD chips.

In your case, get an ASUS board and you'll probably need a new chip. If you get them from a good vendor, any problems you have, you can get sorted out.

I think most boards have 3 years warranty with them. Maybe contact the seller off e-bay and see what he can do ? If he's a good seller, he'll be able to help you. No doubt, he buy's bit's in bulk, and flogs them on e-bay.
