So I'm looking to convert my main rig to a dedicated mining machine and then switching to a mini ITX system for my everyday use. I will be recycling my GPU and RAM. This is what I have come up with so far: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2SAGs However I need the best quality mobo for this setup. I am using a Xeon, so I obviously will not be overclocking. With this build I am going for total reliability and stability. What would you guys suggest?
Asus P8H61-I R2.0

You can't go wrong with an Asus board, and it happens to be the cheapest on the list compatible with the rest of your built.
edit: Well, in my area at least. I have no idea where you're at.
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-p8z77ideluxe lots more usb than the 4 the other board listed (facepalm)
For $52 more, but you're right.
Its the only 4 1/2 star board on the site ;)
I don't think it's worth the extra $52, but maybe it's cheaper in the OP's area.
The I-Deluxe is a more feature rich board and the 12+2 phase power design would be incredibly reliable
