Best budget mobo for i5 4690k?

[BenEzz]

im looking to buy an i5 4690k to go along with my Radeon 7970, but I need a good motherboard for it and I'm on a budget of under £80. I'm not looking to overclock. Any suggestions and or tips would be appreciated, thank you.

As your not interested in overclocking, I suggest you get the value oriented i5 4590 along with a quality H97 Chipset based motherboard, as the performance difference between the i5s in gaming are going to be highly negligible. See the video embedded below:

Update:

I can't really recommend anything below this quality motherboard, as they're not worth considering:
