Hey guys I am about to order a new MOBO for my 2011 v3 build I am thinking this anyone got any other ideas?

Also what does OC Ram mean like 2300MHZ(OC) because this board only offers OC Ram
Can u even get an x99 under 220$? :-P
For that money I would definitively go for a z97 and spend more on a beefy graphics card ;-) if your intent is gaming (and light content creation)
Or do u have a specific need for x99?
The OC in RAM is just a formality, because the DDR4 standard is rated at 2133, higher frequencies work, if the manufacturer certifies specific models for more, ur MB and CPU supports it, u turn it on...
What he said.
If you go x99 you might as well spend another $100 and get a board that takes use of the chipset features. Good caps and vram is a must for over clocking and you aren't going to get it with a $200 board. And 2011-v3 really needs to be OC'd for gaming.
If none of that interest you go with z97.
Asrock X99 Extreme 4 is currently on sale for $190,- or so at newegg.
But like as @Taco_Bell says, you might spend a littlebit more, and grab a nice board.
Asus X99-A would also be a good choice.
overclocking memory isnt worth to botter about, cause it doesnt realy make much sense at all.
But basicly any X99 board can overclock ram.
I was talking about over clocking the CPU
+1 to the X99-A. It's my current board and it's a beast. The VRMs are fantastic, audio is the best I've ever had, supports quad and triple sli/cfx. As far as over clocking goes, it's mostly dependent on how well binned your components are. I easily got to 4.8ghz with 1.3v (do not exceed this voltage), but I despised the temps so I stuck with 1.18v and 4.4. Remember you need to oc your cache as well. It should preferably be 100mhz slower than your CPU clock. As far as DDR4 goes, there's little to no benefit from higher over clocks however if you do do not exceed 1.35v. I've heard scary stories of kits using 1.5v and killing the entire system. If you do get it, I had to disable all USB options in the BIOS for them to work properly. I managed a DDR4 OC of 2800mhz with timings of 14-15-15-35-1, however at 2400mhz managed 11-10-10-32-1 which I would recommend over the previous due to the lower latency.
i know, but in the op he was talking about ram overclocking. ☺
