The ASRock Z77 Extreme4 is a great option with eSATA.

I'd say so. Solid feature set for the price. Not as good a deal as the MSI board, but it's worth it since eSATA sounds like something you use frequently. Also, I've got a policy against doing simple searches for people. You should have no trouble finding that board on a UK site.
