Title^
Any recommendations for a good but budget micro atx board with the LGA1150 socket?
Preferably with 4 DIMM slots for future memory upgrades?
Number of PCI-e's doesn't matter as only going with a single GPU.
There will not be any overclocking the CPU so those features aren't needed either.
 
Solution
So yes the MSI B85M-E45 or slightly better B85M-G43 are good options for your budget.

Sold for cheap at Amazon UK and Scan UK.

Hi - You didn't specify budget $, so here's some to consider with 4 ram slots;

http://pcpartpicker.com/mr/newegg/gigabyte-motherboard-gab85mds3h - least expensive, but like most
cheaper boards, not gr8 user reviews

http://pcpartpicker.com/mr/directron/msi-motherboard-b85mg43 - more $ but much better user reviews

http://pcpartpicker.com/mr/newegg/asrock-motherboard-h97mpro4 - $75, but also decent user reviews

I'd lean toward the 2nd one.
