A good budget Motherboard for an i5-4670K

[trawetSluaP]

Hi,

I am building a PC for a family member and have decided to give them my old CPU, an i5-4670K.

They won't be overclocking or gaming on the PC but I see no reason for them not to take advantage of this powerful processor.

I would like some advice on the best motherboard I can get to go with this CPU. Would Idealy have USB 3.0 and be used for day to day applications such as Word, Excel, browsing the net etc.

Budget will be no more than £75.

Any help is appreciated.

I have the MSI Z87-G43 MB which has worked really well for me. OC's easily to 4.6 GHz. Highly recommended! http://www.amazon.co.uk/MSI-Z87-G43-Motherboard-USB3-0-LGA1150/dp/B00CXOMGGW/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1396789907&sr=1-1&keywords=msi+z87-g43

Is a Z87 necessary if there is no plan to overclock?

No it is not needed then.
