Im looking for a new motherboard for my build and just looking for something that's quality and cheap.


my build so far : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/PBWZ9W
i have the things on that list already asides from the case and the motherboard ( im just looking to build a smaller more portable PC than the one i currently have and using some old parts in the new build )

If your looking for low price then a Z97 board is out of the question unless you can find a used one on EBay. That ECS board lidted it total garbsge and should not even be called a Z board very poor power delivery and not made really to overclock with.
If your not going to overclock the processor then this is a good board B85 chipset.
