ASUS Board recommendation please

I need a recommendation for a new MB. I have always had great luck
with ASUS so I want to stay with them.

I use it for web browsing, a few (non powerhouse) games,
USENET, mail, Office Suite applications and education.

A homeowner based home floorplan program for renovation.

Main use is Adobe Photoshop Elements for photo correction, and
manipulation, then storage.

I have been thinking about the Sabertooth Z77 board with 16 GB of
memory. I am not an overclocker, I just put them together, and use
them the way they are with default settings. To stay current,
I do want to use the i7 Ivy Bridge device. Once together I run the
machine for about 5 years and then build another.

Suggestions? Comments?
Thanks in advance.

Do you have a particular reason for preferring an Intel CPU over an AMD one?

Have had Intel since my first build which was a "socket 5".
Just "always used them, never had a problem with them."

Just "always used them, never had a problem with them."

And TBH, at this point in time Intel has a superior part. (I've used both
in the past and have no fanboy preference.)
